Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Mesa Unified District in Mesa, Arizona. The school has 607 students and has been consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools over the past decade.

Lincoln Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics often 10-20 percentage points lower than the surrounding schools. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of 4th graders and 22% of 6th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 40% and 32% respectively for the district. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

While Lincoln Elementary School's performance lags behind the district and state, the school has seen some bright spots, such as its African American and multi-racial students performing much better than the overall student population. However, the school's English Language Learner students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 40% of Arizona elementary schools in that subgroup in recent years. Addressing these disparities and improving the overall academic performance will be crucial for the school's future success.
