The Rockaway Borough School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Lincoln Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.

Lincoln Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 406 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools in 2023-2024 (3 out of 5 stars) to 1,046 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023 (1 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd grade students have also varied, with higher rates in 2023-2024 compared to the state averages, but significantly lower rates in the previous year. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% for 2022-2023 is an area of concern that may require further investigation.

The per-student spending at the school was $8,637 for the 2018-2019 school year. Overall, the Rockaway Borough School District and Lincoln Elementary School seem to be performing better than the state average, but the school's fluctuating performance and high chronic absenteeism rate warrant further analysis to understand the factors driving these trends.
