Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in La Porte, Indiana, serving grades PK-4 with 342 students. It is part of the LaPorte Community School Corporation, which is ranked 121 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Lincoln Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces some challenges compared to other schools in the district. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% to 19.2% over the past few years. Additionally, its test scores in ILEARN English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.68% of all grades were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.22% for the district. Lincoln Elementary also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Lincoln Elementary to other nearby schools, it generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. For instance, F. Willard Crichfield Elementary, also in the LaPorte district, has significantly higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. However, Lincoln Elementary does outperform some schools outside the district, such as Coolspring Elementary and Springfield Elementary in the Michigan City Area Schools district, on test scores and other metrics.
