Summary

Lincoln Grade School serves 442 students in PK–4 in Washington, Illinois, an area with several nearby elementary schools to compare. In 2025–2026, 59% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 60% in math. The most important takeaway is that, although Lincoln scored above the state in both subjects, it trailed nearby schools serving the same grades—especially in ELA.

Math is Lincoln’s strongest comparison with the state: its 60% proficiency was 20 points higher than the state’s 40%, while its 59% in ELA was 2 points above the state’s 56%. But both subjects were below the district: ELA was 12 points below Washington School District 52, and math was 1 point below. Among the three nearby PK–4 schools with results, the average was 71% in ELA and 64% in math, leaving Lincoln 13 points behind in ELA and 4 points behind in math. Grade-level results also vary: third-grade math was a bright spot at 69%, compared with 49% statewide, while third-grade ELA was 48%, nearly level with the state and below all but one nearby reported result.

Lincoln’s results have improved overall since 2023–2024, but dipped from the previous year: ELA went from 50% to 67% to 59%, and math from 37% to 64% to 60%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 83rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 63rd in 2025–2026; Lincoln had 3 stars, while nearby ranked schools ranged from the 71st to 93rd percentiles and had 4 or 5 stars. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Lincoln serves White students fell from the 68th to the 36th percentile; its measure for Female Students fell from the 80th to the 46th. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.2, and 29% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism declined from 11.3% in 2022–2023 to 6.2% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 23.5% but just above the district’s 5.8%.
