Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 341 students. The school is part of the Ridgefield Park Public School District, which is ranked 308 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from the 795th rank out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools in 2020-2021 to the 503rd rank out of 1,347 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on NJSLA assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts, with 64.1% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 62.3% for the district and 56.1% for the state. Additionally, the school's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 100 and top 75 schools in the state, respectively, for these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Teaneck Community Charter school and Moonachie Campus, Lincoln Elementary School generally outperforms them on NJSLA assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. This may be due in part to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.1 to 9.0 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, the school has experienced a higher rate of chronic absenteeism compared to the state average, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased significantly, from 31.94% in 2021-2022 to 49.56% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing need for additional resources and support to address the needs of students from lower-income families.
