Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Robinson, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 323 students. The school is part of the Robinson CUSD 2 district, which is ranked 451 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 21.9% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 44.2% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and only 33.3% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 38.5%. Additionally, the school's performance on the IAR and ISA assessments has generally declined over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 714 out of 1,948 Illinois elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,246 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Parkside Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39.31% to 49.85% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance. Addressing these issues through data-driven interventions and a focus on equity could be crucial in improving student outcomes and the overall quality of education at the school.
