Summary

Lincoln Elementary School in Twin Falls, ID, serves 327 students in grades PK–5 and is part of the Twin Falls District. It is a high-poverty school: 64.5% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025, and 18.1% of students were chronically absent, above the state rate of 13.8%.

Academically, Lincoln is one of the lowest-ranked elementary schools in Idaho. In 2025-2026, it ranked 330 out of 346 elementary schools, placing it in the 5th percentile with a 0-star rating. Math proficiency was 25.4%, compared to 43.1% statewide, and English language arts proficiency was 26.6%, compared to 54.0% statewide — a gap of 27.4 percentage points. Nearby schools show a stark contrast: Rock Creek Elementary had 54.8% math proficiency and Pillar Falls Elementary had 58.7%, both serving far fewer low-income students.

The good news is that Lincoln is improving. Math proficiency rose from 15.8% in 2023-2024 to 25.4% in 2025-2026, and ELA rose from 19.3% to 26.6%. Some schools with similar poverty levels perform much better — Morningside Elementary School (60.2% poverty) achieved 44.3% math proficiency, and Sawtooth Elementary School (49.1% poverty) achieved 45.3% math. Both have much lower chronic absenteeism, suggesting attendance is a key lever for Lincoln. Notably, Lincoln spends more per student ($7,733) and has smaller class sizes (12.8 students per teacher) than several higher-performing peers, so the low outcomes are not simply a matter of resources.
