Summary

Lincoln Elementary School in Zeeland, MI, serves approximately 361 students in grades K-5 as part of the highly regarded Zeeland Public Schools district, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools for nine of the past ten years, currently sitting at the 88th percentile with a 4-star rating.

What truly sets Lincoln apart is its exceptional support for students who often face the greatest challenges. The school ranks in the 97th percentile statewide for students from low-income backgrounds—a 5-star performance that has been consistent for three straight years. Similarly, Hispanic students at Lincoln achieve at the 94th percentile, and special education students ranked 5th out of 252 Michigan schools (98th percentile) in the most recent available data. This "equitable excellence" means your child will be well-supported regardless of their background or learning needs. The school also maintains strong results across all demographic groups, with 4-star ratings for both male and female students. Academically, 3rd graders shine with 63.9% ELA and 68.3% math proficiency—far above state averages—though math proficiency does decline somewhat by 5th grade, mirroring district-wide trends.

Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln holds its own. It slightly trails Adams Elementary and Woodbridge Elementary (both at the 91st percentile) but outperforms Quincy Elementary, New Groningen School, and Zeeland Quest. The contrast with Roosevelt Elementary, just under a mile away, is striking: Roosevelt serves a population with double the free/reduced lunch rate and spends significantly more per student ($21,185 vs. $16,601), yet achieves far lower academic outcomes (67th percentile vs. 88th). Lincoln's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1% exceeds the district average of 11.8%, but remains well below the state's 27.9%—and the school still delivers top-quartile results. For families seeking a school that combines strong academics with proven success for diverse learners, Lincoln is an outstanding choice.
