Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a K–6 school serving 452 students in Warsaw, Indiana, part of Warsaw Community Schools, a district ranked 118th of 374 Indiana districts (68th percentile, 3 stars). The school sits in the middle-to-upper-middle tier of Indiana elementary schools, ranking 435th of 1,015 schools in 2025–2026 — the 57th percentile, with 3 stars. That is a step down from its peak: Lincoln was a 4-star school as recently as 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, reaching the 74th–78th percentile, and has since settled into a steady 3-star range in the mid-50s to 57th percentile.

Results are uneven rather than uniformly weak. All-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 40.96% and Math is 42.8%, both below the district's 46.01% and 44.33%, while Science is 46.67%, above the district's 43.26%. The clearest concern is 3rd grade, where ELA is 22.37% and Math 28.95% — far below both district and state. Upper grades look better: 6th-grade ELA is 57.14%, and 4th-grade Math is 52.63%, both above district and state. 5th-grade Social Studies has also improved sharply, rising from 21.74% to 46.67% over three years and now essentially at the state level.

Attendance is Lincoln's strongest cultural asset: chronic absenteeism is 5.6%, well below the district's 9.7% and the state's 16.7%, and better than most nearby schools. Among same-district elementary schools, Lincoln ranks 5th of 8 by performance percentile — clearly ahead of Jefferson Elementary School and Claypool Elementary School, roughly comparable to Harrison Elementary School, but behind Madison Elementary School and Eisenhower Elementary School. Nearby, Mentone Elementary School has a similar free/reduced lunch rate (59.38%) but stronger Math and Science. Spending ($10,208 per student) and a 13.4 student-teacher ratio are mid-pack, so resources are not an obvious explanation for the results.
