Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, California, serving 316 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the West Contra Costa Unified School District, which is ranked 1132 out of 1560 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (83.54%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 73.25% to 90.57% Hispanic. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 1-2% of California elementary schools based on standardized test scores, with only 4.74% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 32.5% in the district and 46.66% statewide. Lincoln Elementary also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 52%, much higher than the 26% to 48.3% range of nearby schools. Additionally, 55.7% of Lincoln's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Lincoln Elementary is the lowest-performing school in the immediate area, some of the nearby schools, such as Cesar E. Chavez Elementary and Voices College-Bound Language Academy, also struggle with low academic achievement and high rates of chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the challenges facing Lincoln Elementary may be systemic issues within the broader West Contra Costa Unified School District.

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.
