Summary

First Street Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 381 students in the Western Placer Unified School District in Lincoln, CA, performing in the middle range compared to schools across the state.

The school serves a community with significant economic need, with about 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is the highest rate among its neighboring schools in the district. Academically, it shows a particular strength in mathematics, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. However, the school faces a major challenge with chronic absenteeism, with nearly 19% of students missing significant school time, which is the highest rate in the district and much higher than top-performing schools like Twelve Bridges Elementary (4%). Interestingly, First Street Elementary spends more per student than any other nearby school in its district, at over $18,000 per child.

When compared to other local schools, such as those in the Rocklin Unified district or the Maria Montessori Charter Academy, First Street's academic results are generally lower despite its higher per-student funding. Performance varies considerably by grade level, with fourth grade being a particular highlight. The school's statewide ranking has declined recently, suggesting it is navigating unique post-pandemic challenges as it works to support its students.
