Summary

Lincolnshire Elementary in Hagerstown, MD, is a PK-5 school serving 503 students within the Washington County Public Schools district, where a significant majority of families (69%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-needs community.

The most critical challenge facing Lincolnshire is a persistent and high rate of chronic absenteeism, which sits at 32.2%—far above the district average and dramatically higher than nearby schools like Rockland Woods Elementary (14.6%) and Williamsport Elementary (19.1%). This attendance crisis directly impacts learning, especially in English Language Arts (ELA), where only 40% of students are proficient compared to the district average of 55%. Interestingly, the school spends a high amount per student ($21,207), but this investment hasn't yet translated into proportional academic gains. A telling comparison is with Emma K. Doub Elementary, just 1.5 miles away, which has a similar poverty rate but a much lower absenteeism rate (23.5%) and significantly higher test scores (66.1% in ELA). This suggests that improving attendance could be the single most powerful lever for change at Lincolnshire.

Another notable pattern is a "5th Grade Cliff" in academic performance. While 3rd graders show relatively strong proficiency (49.2% in ELA), scores drop sharply by 5th grade (34.1% in ELA), with math proficiency plummeting from 35.6% to just 12.9%. This indicates the school may struggle to prepare students for the more complex curriculum of upper elementary grades. Despite these challenges, Lincolnshire outperforms its most demographically similar neighbor, Hickory Elementary, in ELA (40% vs. 32.4%), showing that while the school faces headwinds, it is making some progress relative to peers with similar needs.
