Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Harrison, New Jersey, serving 292 students in grades 2-3. The school is part of the Harrison Public Schools district, which is ranked 496 out of 609 districts in the state.

Lincoln Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency on the NJSLA assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.9%. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 7.5% to 16.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.
