Summary:
The Lincoln R-II school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Lincoln Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite serving a student population with a relatively high rate of economic disadvantage, Lincoln Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 14% of Missouri elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year.
Lincoln Elementary's strong performance is evident in its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its above-average proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to the state average. The school's 6th-grade math proficiency rate of 53.1% exceeds the state average of 45.5%, while its 4th-grade English language arts proficiency rate of 45.4% is slightly higher than the state's 44.8%. However, the school's 5th-grade math proficiency rate of 33.2% and 3rd-grade English language arts proficiency rate of 40% suggest potential opportunity gaps that the school may want to address.
The Lincoln R-II school district appears to be investing resources into Lincoln Elementary, as evidenced by the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,177 in the 2021-2022 school year. This, combined with the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, may be contributing to its consistent high performance and ability to serve a student population with significant economic challenges.
