Summary

Lincoln Heights Elementary School in Greenville, MI, serves 398 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Greenville Public Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating statewide.

One of the most remarkable things about Lincoln Heights is how well it supports students from all backgrounds. The school ranks in the 87th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with low-income students, which is even higher than its overall ranking of 74th percentile. This means the school is especially good at helping economically disadvantaged students succeed, outperforming many schools with similar demographics. Lincoln Heights also shows a strong commitment to students receiving special education services, ranking in the 76th percentile for that group in recent years. The school has made incredible progress reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 28.9% in 2021-2022 to just 13.8% in 2024-2025—less than half the state average of 27.9%. This suggests a positive, welcoming school culture where families feel engaged and students want to show up.

Academically, Lincoln Heights has clear strengths and one area to watch. Fifth-grade English Language Arts scores are a standout, with 52.6% proficiency compared to the state's 43.8%, and the school has consistently outperformed district and state averages in 5th-grade social studies for three straight years. However, 5th-grade math proficiency (36.8%) lags behind, a pattern that has persisted for several years. The 2025-2026 school year also showed a slight dip in overall performance compared to the previous two strong years, which could simply reflect the particular group of students. Within the Greenville Public Schools district, Lincoln Heights ranks below its sister schools—Baldwin Heights School (92nd percentile), Walnut Hills Elementary School (85th), and Cedar Crest Elementary School (74th)—particularly in 4th and 5th-grade math and science. Yet Lincoln Heights achieves its results efficiently, spending less per student ($15,054) than nearby Rockford Public Schools like Meadow Ridge Elementary School ($17,242) while serving a population with twice the poverty rate. Compared to similar schools in the region, Lincoln Heights is a clear standout for delivering strong results despite economic challenges.
