Summary

Lincoln Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 235 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Princeton City School District, which is ranked 499 out of 828 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Heights Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 30% of Ohio elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 38.2% in 3rd grade Math, 50% in 4th grade ELA, and 16.3% in 5th grade Math, while the state averages were 64.4%, 61.9%, and 56.7%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as students with disabilities. Additionally, Lincoln Heights has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.6% to 33.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

The stark contrast in performance between Lincoln Heights Elementary and the nearby high-performing schools in the Wyoming City School District, such as Elm Avenue Elementary and Hilltop Elementary, suggests that factors beyond just the district-level may be contributing to Lincoln Heights' struggles. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism and providing targeted interventions and support for underperforming student subgroups could be crucial steps in improving the overall performance of Lincoln Heights Elementary.
