Summary:
The Lincoln School District in Arkansas contains one elementary school, Lincoln Elementary School, which serves grades PK through 3 with an enrollment of 356 students.
Lincoln Elementary School has shown notable volatility in its state ranking over the past three years, dropping to the 24th percentile in 2023-2024 before recovering to the 63rd percentile in 2024-2025 and then settling at the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026. The school's most recent proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.9%) and Mathematics (42.1%) fall below state averages, but Science proficiency (44.7%) slightly exceeds the state average of 44.0%. The school outperforms its district average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for the 2025-2026 school year, making it a relative bright spot within the district. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 and per-student spending of $15,064, the school serves a high-poverty population, with 72.19% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
An interesting pattern emerges when comparing the last two school years: the school's Math and English Language Arts performance has inverted, with Math now outperforming ELA after the opposite was true the previous year. The Science proficiency, while still a strength, declined from 46.9% in 2024-2025 to 44.7% in 2025-2026, suggesting difficulty maintaining peak performance. Notably, the school's 3rd-grade scores in 2025-2026 are nearly identical to the all-grades scores across all subjects, indicating consistent performance across grade levels rather than a typical drop-off in upper grades.
