Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ardmore, Oklahoma, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 433 students. The school is part of the Ardmore School District, which is ranked 342 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 28.6%, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 26% and the district average of 17%. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.53% to 89.38%, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Dickson Upper Elementary School and Lone Grove Intermediate School, Lincoln Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores. The school's declining performance and lower-than-average test scores, coupled with high chronic absenteeism and a high concentration of low-income students, suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and improve educational outcomes.
