Summary

Lincoln Elementary School in Lincoln, AR, serves 356 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd grade and is part of the Lincoln School District, which is ranked in the 40th percentile of Arkansas districts.

Lincoln Elementary has shown a remarkable academic turnaround in recent years. After spending several years in the bottom quartile of Arkansas elementary schools, the school jumped to the 63rd percentile in 2024-2025, a significant improvement that sets it apart from nearby schools. While its English Language Arts (36.9%) and Math (42.1%) proficiency rates still trail state averages, the school's 3rd-grade science proficiency (44.7%) is nearly identical to the state average (45.4%). This relative strength in science is notable when compared to nearby schools like Prairie Grove Elementary (59.7% science proficiency) and Greenland Elementary (47.1% science proficiency). The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, which is a higher percentage than top-performing nearby schools like Vandergriff Elementary (11.29%) and Holcomb Elementary (30.51%).

Lincoln Elementary spends $15,064 per student, which is significantly higher than many nearby schools with better academic outcomes, such as Vandergriff Elementary ($11,305) and Prairie Grove Elementary ($10,340). This high spending, combined with moderate results, suggests the school is investing heavily but may need to focus on how effectively those resources are used to drive student achievement. The school's improvement story is particularly impressive when compared to Asbell Elementary, which has a higher poverty rate and higher spending ($17,096) but significantly lower test scores (22.1% vs. 36.9% in 3rd-grade ELA). Lincoln Elementary is surrounded by schools from the high-performing Fayetteville and Farmington districts, which consistently rank in the top 15% of Arkansas districts, setting a high bar for what is possible in the region.
