Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Fredonia, Kansas, serving 261 students in grades 1-6. The school is part of the Fredonia School District, which is ranked 225 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lincoln Elementary's performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests is generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41.56%) and Mathematics (33.72%) were lower than the state averages of 44.47% and 38.73%, respectively. However, the school's 5th-grade students performed significantly better than the state average in English Language Arts, with 68.41% proficient or better compared to the state's 49.18%. The school's special education students and low socioeconomic status students generally perform better than the state averages for those subgroups, ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools.

One concerning trend at Lincoln Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.8% in the 2024-2025 school year to 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year. This rate is higher than the state average and may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance. Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the Thayer Schools, which are in a different district (Cherryvale) and have higher proficiency rates. However, Lincoln Elementary outperforms the nearby Elk Valley Elementary and North Lawn Elementary schools, which are also in lower-performing districts.
