Lincoln Elementary School has consistently performed above the state average in various standardized tests, with proficiency rates of 44.68% in English Language Arts, 42.55% in Mathematics, and 27.27% in Science for the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.1 to 10 students per teacher, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. Additionally, the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,411, which is higher than the state average and may contribute to the school's academic performance.

Compared to the nearest school, Helmville School, which has a much smaller enrollment of 13 students and a lower student-teacher ratio of 6.5, Lincoln Elementary School's test scores are generally higher. However, the school's ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from 22nd out of 212 schools in 2023-2024 to 253rd out of 287 schools in 2014-2015, suggesting a need to identify and address the factors contributing to these changes. Additionally, the school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate indicates that it serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may have implications for the school's resources and support systems.
