Summary

Lincoln School of Science and Technology is a K-5 elementary school in Canon City, Colorado, serving 254 students as part of the Fremont Re-1 district. The school serves a high-poverty population, with about 61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.0, meaning smaller class sizes and more individual attention than many nearby schools.

Academically, Lincoln outperforms both its district and the state in most tested subjects. In 2025-2026, 46.8% of students were proficient in ELA, compared to 40.1% for the district and 44.7% for the state. In math, 38.9% were proficient versus 25.8% for the district and 37.3% for the state. Fifth-grade science results are especially strong, with 50% proficient versus 34.1% for the district. Lincoln also holds the highest ranking among comparable area schools, placing 401st out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, ahead of Mount View Core Knowledge Charter School (411th), Canon Exploratory School (482nd), and McKinley Elementary School (590th). Perhaps most impressive, Lincoln ranks 7th out of 319 schools statewide — the 98th percentile — for performance with low socio-economic status students, demonstrating exceptional effectiveness in supporting economically disadvantaged learners.

Lincoln also keeps chronic absenteeism relatively low at 16.5%, compared to 23.2% for the district and 28.4% statewide. The school has shown steady improvement, with math proficiency rising from 31.9% in 2022-2023 to 38.9% in 2025-2026, and science jumping from 36.6% to 50%. One area worth watching is a 4th-grade dip in scores, particularly in math, where proficiency drops to 18.8% before rebounding strongly in 5th grade. When compared to Mount View Core Knowledge Charter School, which has a much lower poverty rate at 34% FRL, Lincoln still matches or exceeds it in math and science while serving nearly twice the share of low-income students. Mount View leads in ELA and has lower chronic absenteeism, but Lincoln's overall performance given its student population makes it a standout choice in the Canon City area.
