Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a K–5 school with 527 students in Elmhurst, Illinois, and is part of Elmhurst School District 205. Its strongest headline is that Lincoln ranked second among nine nearby K–5 schools with 2025–2026 scores in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math, behind Jefferson Elementary School.

Lincoln’s clearest strength is math: its 86% proficiency was 47 points above the state and 14 points above the district, and 14 points above the 73% average for nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 84%—27 points above the state and 3 above the district, and 7 points above the 77% nearby-school average—so its advantage over the district is more modest in ELA. Fourth grade stood out, with 93% proficient in ELA and 94% in math, the highest results among nearby schools in those grade-level comparisons. Fifth-grade math was a relative dip at 78%, though still above the state’s 36%.

Scores have risen substantially since 2023–2024, from 62% to 84% in ELA and from 68% to 86% in math, but both eased from 2024–2025: ELA fell 4 points and math 2. SchoolDigger ranked Lincoln 70th of 1,737 Illinois schools in 2025–2026, at the 96th percentile with five stars; it was second among nearby schools with rankings. One notable subgroup trend is that SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students rose from the 77th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 98th in 2024–2025. Context for families: Lincoln’s 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 4%, third-lowest among nearby schools reporting the same measure, while its student-teacher ratio was 16.3, the highest among nearby schools with reported ratios.
