Summary

Lincoln Elementary School serves approximately 902 students in grades PK-5 in Lincoln, Alabama, as part of the Talladega County school district, where about half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

Lincoln Elementary has experienced a significant academic decline over the past two years. After reaching a high point in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from the 67th percentile to the 40th percentile. This decline is visible across most subjects: 4th grade science proficiency fell from 47% to 30%, and 5th grade math dropped from 51% to 38%. The most concerning trend is for special education students, who ranked in the 25th percentile in the most recent year. However, there are some bright spots. English Language Arts remains a relative strength, with 5th grade proficiency (68%) nearly matching the state average. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 17.6% to 10.3%—now better than both the district and state averages.

The comparison with Munford Elementary School, also in the Talladega County district, is particularly telling. Both schools serve nearly identical student populations, yet Munford outperforms Lincoln by 20 to 37 percentage points in math and science. This suggests the achievement gap may stem from instructional or programmatic differences rather than student demographics. Nearby Pell City schools like Coosa Valley Elementary School and Iola Roberts Elementary School also outperform Lincoln, with smaller class sizes and lower absenteeism rates. Lincoln spends about $8,515 per student, less than most nearby schools, which may be a factor. While the recent decline is concerning, the improving attendance and relatively solid reading scores provide a foundation the school can build upon.
