Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Twin Falls, Idaho, serving 357 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Twin Falls School District, which is ranked 58 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Lincoln Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Idaho elementary schools, with a 1-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year.

Lincoln Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 15.0% to 19.7%), significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (75.51% to 75.65%). Despite spending more per student ($7,733) than some higher-performing nearby schools like Rock Creek Elementary ($5,958 per student) and Pillar Falls Elementary ($6,658 per student), Lincoln Elementary's academic performance remains consistently low.

The challenges facing Lincoln Elementary suggest a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's poor performance. Strategies focused on improving attendance, engaging families, and implementing effective instructional practices could potentially help the school make significant progress. With the right support and interventions, Lincoln Elementary has the opportunity to improve and better serve its students and community.
