Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lincoln, Missouri, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 258 students. The school is part of the Lincoln R-II School District, which is ranked 128 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary has shown strong performance in mathematics, with 3rd-6th grade students consistently scoring above the state average in the percentage proficient or better on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests. In English Language Arts (ELA), the school's 3rd and 4th grade students have also performed well, scoring above the state average in the percentage proficient or better. However, the school's 5th grade ELA performance has been more mixed, with some years below the state average. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, Lincoln Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 10% of Missouri elementary schools for low-SES student performance, indicating that it is effectively serving this population. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.4% to 16.9% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary generally outperforms the Morgan County R-I Elementary and South Elementary (Warsaw R-Ix) in both mathematics and ELA proficiency rates. However, the nearby Green Ridge Elementary and Cole Camp Elementary schools have shown stronger overall performance, ranking higher among Missouri elementary schools. Lincoln Elementary spends between $9,666 and $11,177 per student, which is on the higher end compared to some of the nearby schools, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting it has adequate staffing resources.
