Summary:
Zip code 47713 contains two elementary schools serving grades K–8, both within the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp: Glenwood Leadership Academy (436 students) and Lincoln School (280 students). Together they enroll 716 students, and about 75% of them qualify for free or reduced lunch — 75.23% at Glenwood and 75.71% at Lincoln — so both schools serve largely high-poverty populations, and both draw on the same district context: a district ranked 258 of 374, at the 31st percentile with 2 stars.
Comparing the two, Lincoln School is the relative standout. It posts higher proficiency in ELA (12.95% vs 7.31%), Science (11.86% vs 4.65%), and 5th Grade Social Studies (25.81% vs 2.63%), has a lower student-teacher ratio (8.8 vs 10.9), spends more per student ($16,173 vs $14,285), and ranks higher statewide (959 of 1,015, 6th percentile) than Glenwood Leadership Academy (1006 of 1,015, 1st percentile). Lincoln also improved year over year in Math (+1.95 points), Science (+5.30), and 5th Grade Social Studies (+22.58), while Glenwood declined in ELA, Math, and Science. Glenwood's relative edges are its larger enrollment and slightly higher 4th and 7th grade Math scores.
Even so, both schools remain far below district averages in every subject — the district itself sits at 34.34% ELA, 34.47% Math, and 32.88% Science — and both earned 0 stars in every year of rank history. Chronic absenteeism is a shared challenge at roughly 24% (Glenwood 24.2%, Lincoln 24.1%), about 2.6–2.7 points above the district's 21.5% and 7.4–7.5 points above the state's 16.7%. Glenwood also recorded zero proficiency in four grade-level cells and Lincoln in one. In short, Lincoln is stronger on most measures, but neither school is near district or state proficiency levels.
