Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Huntington, Indiana, serving about 350 students as part of the Huntington County Com School Corp, where 81.71% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — a rate that has held steady around 81–83% for three years. Its 2025–2026 rank is 778th of 1,015 (23rd percentile, 1 star), well below the district's 57th percentile and 3-star rating and at the bottom of the nearby comparison group.

On 2025–2026 ILEARN tests, 22.8% of Lincoln students were proficient in English language arts, 27.6% in math, and 32.26% in science — the lowest results among same-district peers, including Salamonie Elementary School (36.36% ELA, 52.45% math), Roanoke Elementary School (45.12%, 60.93%), and Horace Mann Elementary (31.44%, 40.21%), the next-lowest same-district school. Third grade is the clearest weak spot: 11.27% proficient in ELA and 19.72% in math, each roughly 30 points below state averages. Fourth grade is a relative bright spot at 35.48% in both ELA and math, while all-grades math has dropped from about 45% in 2022–2023 to 27.6% in 2025–2026.

Chronic absenteeism reached 16.4% in 2024–2025, above the district's 14.8% and above every same-district peer, and up from 11.4% the previous year. Yet Lincoln has the smallest classes (11.6 students per teacher) and the highest per-student spending ($12,395 in 2023–2024) among the nearby schools listed, including Haverhill Elementary School, Aboite Elementary School, and Lafayette Meadow School, so funding and staffing are not the main difference. Parents may want to ask about early-grade reading and math support, math instruction across grades, and attendance programs.
