Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Escondido, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 546 students. The school is part of the Escondido Union School District, which is ranked 994 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently underperforming test scores compared to the district and state, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as 3rd-grade students and English Language Learners. These issues may be exacerbated by the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.78% of 3rd-grade students at Lincoln Elementary were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 34.24% for the district and 42.8% for the state. Additionally, the school's performance is notably lower than that of Limitless Learning Academy, a virtual school in the same district.

Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary's student population will be crucial for the school to improve and provide a high-quality education for its students. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio may also be a contributing factor to its underperformance, and addressing this issue could help the school provide more individualized attention and support to its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
