Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Lincoln Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Sparks, Nevada, serving 423 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 13 districts in Nevada and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Lincoln Park Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (56.97%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the Washoe County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.8% of Lincoln Park students were proficient in mathematics, compared to 33.9% in Washoe County and 32.6% in Nevada. Similarly, in reading, only 22% of Lincoln Park students were proficient, compared to 41.1% in Washoe County and 41.3% in Nevada. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of elementary schools in the state.

Lincoln Park Elementary also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18:1 and a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-income households. While some nearby schools, such as Lena Juniper Elementary and Florence Drake Elementary, perform significantly better, others, like Agnes Risley Elementary and Bernice Mathews Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by Lincoln Park Elementary may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the education system.

I pulled my son out of this school. My son was harassed called names was bullied and the principal did nothing. The staff turned their heads and wouldn't help me.
This school is behind in learning, zero parent involvement, and 99percent hispanic. Everything is centered around Spanish everything. Close Quote
