Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bergenfield, New Jersey, serving 440 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bergenfield Borough School District, which is ranked 230 out of 609 districts in the state.

Lincoln Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in New Jersey, with strong academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's proficiency rates on the 2024-2025 NJSLA tests were significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 69.4% and 71.7% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd grade, respectively. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, ranking among the top 5 and 25 elementary schools in the state for African American and Hispanic students in recent years.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 32.05% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Lincoln Elementary School ranks among the top 30 elementary schools in New Jersey for the performance of these students. This suggests the school has effective strategies and resources in place to support the academic success of its diverse student population. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 10.1% to 16.6%, is an area that the school and district may want to focus on to improve student attendance and engagement.
