Summary

Lincoln Elementary Magnet School in Plant City, FL, is a public magnet school serving 510 students in grades PK-5 within the Hillsborough district, and it stands out as a historically strong school with superior reading scores and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism compared to its neighbors.

Lincoln’s biggest strength is its outstanding performance in English Language Arts (ELA). In the most recent school year, its 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade reading proficiency rates (66%, 68%, and 63%) were the highest among all nearby schools, including Walden Lake Elementary School and Trapnell Elementary School. The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 16.1%, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 31.3% and far better than schools like Jackson Elementary School and Burney Elementary School, both of which have rates above 32%. This suggests a highly engaged student body and strong family-school connections. However, math scores are a relative weakness; Lincoln’s math proficiency rates (55%, 51%, and 58%) are below the district average for 3rd and 4th grade, while higher-poverty schools like Trapnell and Springhead Elementary School achieve higher math scores.

Despite its strong local performance, Lincoln has seen a notable decline in its state ranking, dropping from the 71st percentile (4 stars) in 2022-2023 to the 48th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026. This indicates that while its test scores remain solid compared to nearby schools, they have not kept pace with improvements across the rest of Florida. Interestingly, Lincoln achieves these results with moderate spending ($11,512 per student), while lower-performing schools like Burney ($17,656) and Jackson ($14,794) spend significantly more. This highlights that factors like student engagement and school culture are powerful drivers of success. For parents, Lincoln offers a strong reading program and a highly engaged community, but it’s worth noting the recent ranking dip and the need for a closer look at math instruction.
