The school is part of the Oglesby Education Service District 125, which is ranked 510 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.8% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of many nearby schools. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) are generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math for all grades were 37%, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and White students performing notably lower than the state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary School generally performs worse academically. For instance, Dimmick Community Cons School District 175, located about 7.6 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math across all grade levels. While Lincoln Elementary School spends a relatively high amount per student, with a per-student expenditure of $15,721 in the 2023-2024 school year, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 13 students per teacher, these factors have not yet led to substantial improvements in student outcomes.
