Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in East Peoria, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 143 students. The school is part of the East Peoria School District 86, which is ranked 516 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, typically between 1,100-1,400 out of around 2,000 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 35.6% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 32.2% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 33.8% for the district and 38.5% for the state. Lincoln Elementary School also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, and a high percentage of students with disabilities.

While Lincoln Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby P.L. Bolin Elementary School and Glendale Elementary School within the same district, it is still better than some of the schools in the neighboring Peoria School District 150, which has several schools with very low academic proficiency rates. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which ranges from 17.2% to 26.3% in recent years, and providing targeted interventions and support for the specific needs of the student population could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Lincoln Elementary School.
