Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a 193-student school serving grades 2–5 in Hoisington, Kansas. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were 63% in English Language Arts (ELA), 69% in math and 74% in science. The most important finding is that it led nearby schools, the state and its district in all three tested subjects.

Science is Lincoln’s strongest point: its 74% proficiency rate was 36 points above the state and 31 points above the Hoisington district. It also beat the strongest nearby school by 16 points in science, 3 points in math and 1 point in ELA. Fifth grade is a relative soft spot in ELA and math: both rates were 60%, below Lincoln’s strongest grade in each subject, though still above state rates. In same-grade comparisons, it ranked third among seven nearby schools with fifth-grade ELA and math results, but first in science. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so same-grade comparisons are more directly comparable.

Scores have risen overall since 2022–23: ELA gained 23 points, math 23 points and science 12 points, though results did not increase every year. Lincoln ranks 70th of 657 Kansas elementary schools on SchoolDigger, at the 89th percentile with 4 stars; nearby Jefferson Elementary is next at the 84th percentile. Its student-teacher ratio is 11:1, and 59% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—context that does not explain results on its own. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves low-socioeconomic-status students reached the 95th percentile in 2025–26, compared with 89 overall; its special education ranking also reached the 95th percentile, up from the 63rd percentile in 2023–24.
