Summary

Lincoln Street is a small elementary school at 549 Lincoln Street in Worcester, MA, serving about 177 students in grades K–6 as part of the Worcester district, which ranks 304 of 351 districts statewide. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 700 of 899 schools statewide — the 22nd percentile, or 1 star. Its history shows real movement: it rose from the 1st percentile in 2016–2017 to the 30th percentile (2 stars) in 2022–2023, then slipped back to 22nd percentile, so it is no longer among the lowest-ranked schools in the state but has not sustained its gains.

Proficiency is mixed by subject and grade. In 2025–2026, ELA was 24.72%, math 26.97%, and science 20% — all below state averages of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Math is the strongest subject relative to the district, where Lincoln sits slightly above the district's 24.25%; science trails the district's 23.97%. Third grade is a bright spot: 3rd grade ELA (42.86%) is essentially at the state average and 3rd grade math (38.1%) is above the district. Upper grades are much weaker — 6th grade ELA is 11.11% and 6th grade math 22.22%. Among subgroups, Hispanic students ranked in the 74th percentile (4 stars) on the state's effectiveness measure, far above the school's overall rank.

Compared with nearby Worcester elementary schools, Lincoln sits in the lower-middle. It ranks 7th of 10 ranked neighbors, ahead of Burncoat Street, Clark St Community, and City View, but behind Lake View (66th percentile) and Worcester Arts Magnet School (63rd). Notably, Lincoln's student-teacher ratio of 9.5 is lower than every other standard elementary school nearby, and its $16,779 per-student spending is higher than higher-performing Lake View and Worcester Arts Magnet — yet proficiency remains near district average. Free/reduced lunch data was not available, and spending figures date to 2020–2021.
