Summary

Lincoln School is a K–8 school in Evansville, Indiana, serving 280 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. In 2025–26, Lincoln ranked 959th of 1,015 Indiana schools — the 6th percentile, with 0 stars — while its district ranks 258th of 374 (31st percentile, 2 stars). The school has mostly earned 0–1 stars over the past decade, with a brief peak at the 17th percentile in 2020–21 before falling back to the 6th percentile.

What stands out most is high resource intensity without matching outcomes. Lincoln has the highest per-student spending among nearby schools ($16,173 in 2023–24) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.8 in 2024–25), yet it remains near the bottom statewide. It also serves a high-poverty population: 75.71% free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, second highest nearby, just behind Joshua Academy. Chronic absenteeism was 24.1% in 2024–25, above the district's 21.5% and the state's 16.7%, though it improved from 32.2% the year before.

Proficiency in 2025–26 was ELA 12.95%, math 10.42%, and science 11.86% — roughly 21–24 percentage points below the district (34.34%, 34.47%, 32.88%). Lincoln does outperform Lodge Community School and Glenwood Leadership Academy in all three subjects, but trails Cedar Hall Community School, Delaware Elementary School, Fairlawn Elementary School, Harper Elementary School, and Vogel Elementary School. Vogel is the nearby standout (ELA 42.54%, math 43.87%, science 42.96%; 3 stars), and Joshua Academy, with similar poverty and far lower spending, also outperforms Lincoln. Grade-level results show severe weak spots — 7th-grade math 0%, 6th-grade math 2.86%, 6th-grade ELA 5.71% — while 8th-grade ELA (31.03%) and 5th-grade social studies (25.81%) are relative bright spots. Small cohorts make single grades swing widely, but the all-grade pattern stays consistently low.
