Lincoln Elementary School

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hutchinson, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 241 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and White students.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools like Wiley Elementary and Morgan Elementary, Lincoln Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 483 and 636 out of 660-678 schools over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly lower than the state and Hutchinson Public Schools district averages.

The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, at 90.87%, suggests that Lincoln Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement. While the school's Hispanic students outperform the overall performance, the White students and students with low socioeconomic status perform significantly worse, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address these achievement gaps. Additionally, the school's lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to review its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning.
