Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 270 students in the Lakewood City district in Lakewood, OH, a streetcar suburb bordering western Cleveland. It ranks 159th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (90th percentile) with 4 stars, and its district rank is 220th of 773 (72nd percentile), also 4 stars. Proficiency is above the district in every subject and grade tested and above the state by roughly 17–26 points, a pattern that has held across four years of reported data.

Attendance is Lincoln's strongest operational edge: 5.7% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, versus 21.8% in Lakewood City and lower than every comparison school, including Kensington Intermediate Elementary School in Rocky River City at 6.5%. Within Lakewood, Grant Elementary School is the other top-tier school (92nd percentile), while Harrison Elementary School is at the 47th percentile, so the district's 72nd-percentile average hides a wide spread. Compared with nearby Cleveland schools, Riverside School (27th percentile, 38% chronic absenteeism) and Orchard Park Academy (17th percentile, 32.7%) are far behind, with Lincoln's proficiency rates 30–60 points higher in comparable grades.

Against the regional elite, Kensington Intermediate Elementary School remains ahead overall (98th percentile), though Lincoln's 3rd-grade ELA score of 90.0 essentially ties Kensington's 89.8. The gap opens later: Kensington posts 98% vs. 92.9% in math 4, 95.7% vs. 82.4% in math 5, and 96.8% vs. 79.4% in science 5. Lincoln's 2025–26 results softened slightly—rank moved from the 96th to the 90th percentile, 5th-grade science fell from 89.5 to 79.4, and 4th-grade math eased from 96.7 to 92.9—but the school remains 4 stars and top-decile. Its economically disadvantaged students have also posted top-4% statewide results in recent years, though that subgroup is small and should be read with caution. It also has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate in the Lakewood set (16.67%) and the highest per-pupil spending among district peers ($13,558 in 2018–19), though staffing and spending do not explain outcomes: Harrison Elementary School has the lowest ratio at 14.1:1 but ranks far lower. Families should watch upper-elementary math and science as the clearest growth area.
