Summary

Lincoln Elementary School in Hudson, MI, is a Pre-K through 4th grade school serving 438 students as part of the Hudson Area Schools district, a small, close-knit community where over half of the student body (56.4%) qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Lincoln faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and math running roughly 10 to 20 percentage points below state averages across 3rd and 4th grades. For example, only 20.7% of 3rd graders and 27.2% of 4th graders met ELA standards, compared to state averages of 38.2% and 41.3%. The school's overall ranking places it in the lower quartile of Michigan elementary schools, a position it has held consistently for the past decade. When compared to nearby schools, Lincoln's performance is similar to Morenci Elementary School and Prairie Elementary School, but it trails higher-achieving neighbors like Onsted Elementary and Addison Elementary School, which often post proficiency rates 10-20 points higher. Interestingly, Lincoln's performance with its economically disadvantaged students (28th percentile statewide) is actually stronger than its overall ranking, suggesting the school is relatively more effective with this group than with its broader student population.

There are a few bright spots worth noting. Fourth-grade math proficiency has shown a promising upward trend, improving from 17.6% in 2023-2024 to 32.1% in 2025-2026, nearly reaching the state average of 39.4%. This improvement, however, has not been mirrored in 3rd-grade math or in ELA scores. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.0%, which is better than the district average (30.0%) and the state average (27.9%), though higher than several nearby schools like Ruth McGregor Elementary School (12.8%) and Onsted (16.0%). Per-pupil spending at $13,284 is lower than most comparable schools in the area, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 15.2. While the school's performance is similar to Pittsford Area Elementary School—a school with a much higher poverty rate (81.6%)—Lincoln's challenges appear rooted more in instructional effectiveness than in economic factors alone.
