Summary

Lincoln Park Elementary School is a small, Title I-eligible school in Pensacola, FL, serving 211 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Escambia County School District. After years of ranking in the bottom 25% of Florida elementary schools, the school has shown a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 2nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026—its highest rank in over four years. This improvement is especially notable given that nearby schools like Ensley Elementary School and Jackie Harris Preparatory Academy remain stagnant in the bottom 1-10% of the state.

A key bright spot is the 4th-grade class, which is outperforming expectations across the board. In the 2025-2026 school year, 69% of 4th graders were proficient in Math (beating the district average of 62%) and 55% were proficient in ELA (nearly matching the district average of 56%). This success stands in stark contrast to the 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate of just 29%, suggesting that specific instructional strategies or supports in 4th grade could serve as a model for the rest of the school. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which reached 43.9% in 2023-2024—the second-highest rate among its immediate peers and well above the state average of 31.4%. This is a community-wide issue in northern Pensacola, with nearby schools like Montclair Elementary School (45.9%) and Jackie Harris Preparatory Academy (41.1%) also reporting high rates.

Lincoln Park spends significantly more per student than its neighbors—$14,647 per student in 2024-2025, which is 45% higher than the top-performing nearby school, Pine Meadow Elementary School ($10,064), and 135% higher than Jackie Harris Preparatory Academy ($6,233). Despite this resource disparity, both Lincoln Park and Jackie Harris have historically struggled, though Lincoln Park’s recent upward trend suggests that its investments in small class sizes (14.2:1 student-teacher ratio) and targeted interventions may finally be paying off. The school’s future success will depend on sustaining this momentum, replicating the 4th-grade model across all grades, and tackling the chronic absenteeism crisis that affects the entire community.
