Summary

Lincoln Grade School is an elementary school located in Washington, Illinois, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 476 students. The school is part of the Washington School District 52, which is ranked 81 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Grade School has consistently performed well on state assessments, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. In the 2024-2025 school year, 67.2% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and 63.8% were proficient or better in Math, both significantly higher than the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school has also shown strong performance across various student subgroups, ranking in the top 400 Illinois elementary schools for both female and male students, and in the top 500 for white students. Additionally, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is impressive, ranking in the top 250 Illinois elementary schools in this category.

While Lincoln Grade School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, reaching 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, this rate is still lower than the district and state averages. The school's per-student spending has also steadily increased, reaching $11,097 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. However, when compared to nearby schools, such as Germantown Hills Elementary School, Lincoln Grade School's performance lags behind, with the nearby school outperforming it on state assessments. This suggests that Lincoln Grade School may have room for improvement, particularly in closing the achievement gap with top-performing schools in the region.
