Summary:
Garwood Boro has one listed school, Lincoln, an elementary school serving prekindergarten through grade 8 with 372 students. Its clearest strength is English language arts (ELA): in 2025–2026, Lincoln averaged 71% across grades 3–8, compared with 51% statewide, and was ahead of the state in all six grades.
There is no between-school leader or trailer because Lincoln is the only school in the list; its strongest and weakest results are across grades. ELA ranged from 84% in grade 8, 31 points above the state, to 59% in grade 4, 13 points above. Mathematics was more uneven: grade 6 was highest at 62%, 21 points above the state, while grade 8 was lowest at 24%, just 1 point above; grade 4 reached 39%, 8 points below the state. Lincoln’s Algebra I result was 85%, versus 40% statewide, and science results were also higher than the state’s in grades 5 and 8.
Recent results show a stronger ELA comparison with the state, but little change in mathematics overall. Lincoln’s ELA average rose from 66% in 2024–2025 to 71% in 2025–2026, while its advantage grew from 12 to 20 points; its mathematics average stayed near 45%, and its advantage narrowed from 5 to 4 points. Grade-level changes varied: ELA rose 24 points in grade 3 but fell 16 in grade 4, while mathematics rose 26 points in grade 6 and fell 23 in grade 7. SchoolDigger ranks the district 165th of 607, at the 73rd percentile with four stars; Lincoln’s SchoolDigger percentile moved from 72 to 55, then rebounded to 69. In 2024–2025, the school had an 11.2:1 student-teacher ratio, 8% chronic absenteeism, and 26% free/reduced lunch eligible. Since this list contains only one school, it cannot support comparisons among schools.
