Summary

Lincoln Heights Elementary School in Cincinnati, OH, serves 229 students in grades K–5 as part of Princeton City School District.

The school is rated 1 star and ranked 1161st of 1560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 26th percentile. Its recent history is consistently low, with percentiles in the teens to low 30s over the past decade. Among its district peers, it is near the bottom: Evendale Elementary School is at the 88th percentile with 4 stars, Woodlawn Elementary School is at 42nd percentile with 2 stars, and Glendale Elementary School is at 28th percentile with 1 star. Lincoln Heights is at 26th percentile. Test proficiency averages about 46.6% across seven reported 2025–26 subject/grade rows, compared with roughly 54.6% for the district and 63.8% for Ohio. Its biggest academic weak spots are 3rd-grade English language arts (37.2% proficient vs. Ohio's 63.4%) and 5th-grade math (34.0% vs. Ohio's 59.1%).

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest differentiator: 29.9% in 2025–26, the highest among its district peers and above the district's 23.5%. It had improved to 24.0% in 2024–25 but reversed. This stands out because Glendale Elementary School has similar overall proficiency and a much higher reported free/reduced-lunch rate (76.4%) yet only 10.9% chronic absenteeism, suggesting school-specific attendance or engagement challenges. On the positive side, 5th-grade science is a bright spot at 53.2% proficient—above the district's 47.5%—and 4th-grade math and ELA have improved from earlier lows. African American students are a notable positive outlier: 67th percentile statewide with 3 stars, far above the school's overall 26th percentile. Per-pupil spending was $12,833 in 2018–19, higher than Evendale Elementary School and Woodlawn Elementary School, and the student–teacher ratio was 15.0 in 2024–25. While the school trails stronger nearby schools like Blue Ash Elementary School by wide margins, it generally outperforms Lockland Elementary School and Roselawn Condon School in most 2025–26 tests.
