Summary

Lincoln-Irving Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 350 students in grades PK-5 in Moline, Illinois, which is part of the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district. The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing well below district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 13.2% of Lincoln-Irving students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 38.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was just 9.9%, compared to 28.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.4% to 30.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Lincoln-Irving to other nearby schools in the district, such as Roosevelt Elementary School and Hamilton Elementary School, which have proficiency rates in the 30-50% range, it is clear that Lincoln-Irving is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Despite the school's challenges, it appears to receive a relatively high level of funding, with a per-student spending of $13,778 in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning.
