Summary:

The Rockaway Borough School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Lincoln Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 406 out of 1,338 schools in 2023-2024 to 1,046 out of 1,342 schools in 2022-2023.

Lincoln Elementary School's proficiency rates on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) have also been mixed. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (34.9%) and Mathematics (39.1%) were lower than the state averages (44.9% and 49.8%, respectively). However, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were higher than the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% in 2023-2024 is also a concern, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

In terms of resources, the Rockaway Borough School District spent $8,637 per student in 2018-2019, and Lincoln Elementary School had a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 in 2023-2024. However, the school's socioeconomic status, as indicated by the 22.91% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be a factor in its academic performance.
