Summary

CSA Lincoln Campus is a K–6 elementary school in Columbus, Indiana, serving 357 students as part of Bartholomew Con School Corp, and it ranks among the highest-performing elementary schools in the state.

In 2025–2026, CSA Lincoln Campus ranked 50 of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 95th percentile, with 5 stars. That is far above its district's mid-range standing (162 of 374, 3 stars), and its ELA and math proficiency rates run roughly 32 to 33 points above the district average. ILEARN results show 74.4% proficiency in ELA and 74.88% in math, with science at 57.69% and fifth-grade social studies at 59.62%. Among nearby schools, Southside Elementary School is the closest competitor at 4 stars and rank 105, yet CSA Lincoln leads it in ELA by 14.9 points and in math by 7.7 points. Southside Elementary School edges ahead in science (61.09 vs. 57.69) and social studies (64.66 vs. 59.62). Math and science dipped this year, while ELA and social studies rose.

What makes these results notable is the context. Chronic absenteeism is just 6.7%, well below the district (15.9%) and state (16.7%), and only Rockcreek Elementary School (5.8%) is lower nearby. CSA Lincoln spends $11,253 per student and has a 19.6 student-teacher ratio — leaner than most surrounding schools — so strong results aren't coming from extra resources or small classes. Its 25.49% free/reduced lunch rate is lower than most neighbors, but Southside Elementary School serves an even lower-poverty population and still trails in core subjects. Meanwhile CSA Fodrea Campus, 1.44 miles away with similar enrollment and spending, ranks 401st. The takeaway: top-tier ELA and math, excellent attendance, and efficiency — with math and science worth watching.
