Summary

Lincoln Elementary School in Rexburg, ID, is a K–4 school serving 340 students as part of the Madison District, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks 46th of 101 Idaho districts. The school itself ranks 124th of 346 Idaho elementary schools (64th percentile) with a 3-star rating — solidly above average, though a step down from its impressive past, when it earned 5 stars and ranked in the low-to-mid 90s percentile as recently as 2018–2019.

Lincoln's signature strength is math. In 2025–2026, 58.2% of students scored proficient, blowing past the district average of 35.2% and the state's 43.1%, and making it the top math school among Madison District elementaries — well ahead of Adams Elementary School (51.9%), Hibbard Elementary School (50.8%), and Burton Elementary School (49.7%). Only Kershaw Intermediate School (66.0%) and Teton Elementary School (58.6%) post comparable math scores among nearby schools. Reading tells a different story: 52.4% proficiency is above the district's 42.5% but slightly below the state's 54.0%, and nearby Adams Elementary outperforms Lincoln in reading at 60.7%. Lincoln also shows a concerning grade-level pattern — 3rd-grade scores are strong in both subjects, but 4th-grade ELA plunges to 44.6% and math to 51.6%.

Lincoln serves a moderate-income population (36.8% free/reduced lunch, lower than most nearby schools) with a 20:1 student–teacher ratio and per-student spending below several comparable schools. Chronic absenteeism sits at 13.9% — near the state average but above the district's 10.7%, and roughly double the rate at nearby Parker-Egin Elementary School (5.7%) and Kershaw Intermediate (6.8%). The good news: absenteeism has improved dramatically from a pandemic-era high of 27%. For parents, Lincoln offers strong math instruction and a capable 3rd-grade program, but the 4th-grade dip, modest reading scores, and attendance gaps are worth watching.
