Randolph Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 450 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 95 out of 115 districts in the state.

Randolph Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Lincoln district and the state of Nebraska in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Randolph's 3rd-grade students scored 64.94% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54.66% for the Lincoln district and 57.45% for the state. However, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 25.6% in recent years, which is higher than the district and state averages. Randolph also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.42% to 66.44% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, Randolph Elementary spends more per student, ranging from $14,205 to $16,298 in recent years, compared to the district average. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 12.5 in recent years, compared to the district average. These factors may contribute to the school's academic success, as it outperforms nearby McPhee Elementary School, Holmes Elementary School, and other schools in the Lincoln Public Schools district.
