Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Riviera Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 369 students. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 38 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 57% at the district and state levels. Science proficiency is also low, with only 51% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 54% and 55% at the district and state levels, respectively. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 43.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Nearby schools, such as Grove Park Elementary, Northmore Elementary, and Lake Park Elementary, generally perform better academically and have lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Lincoln Elementary. These schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student population. The higher per-student spending at Lincoln Elementary suggests that the district is attempting to provide additional resources and support to address the school's challenges, but the consistently low performance and high chronic absenteeism rates indicate that these efforts may not be sufficient or effectively targeted to address the root causes of the school's struggles.
