Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dickinson, North Dakota, serving 373 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Dickinson 1 School District, which is ranked 98 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the district and state in 5th-grade math and 3rd-grade reading, but underperformed in 4th-grade reading and science for all grades. The school has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 31% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has performed well in serving its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 5th out of 88 North Dakota elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2022-2023 school year.

When compared to the nearby schools in the Dickinson 1 School District, such as Prairie Rose Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary, Lincoln Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in academic assessments, but has higher chronic absenteeism rates and a higher student-teacher ratio. The school's fluctuating ranking and star rating suggest the need for continued focus on improving overall academic outcomes and addressing the factors contributing to the school's performance.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only.
