Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Alva, Oklahoma, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 136 students. The school is part of the Alva School District, which is ranked 136 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School has consistently performed better than the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 38% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 31% for Alva and 26% for the state. In Mathematics, Lincoln Elementary School had 43% of students proficient or better, compared to 28% for Alva and 26% for the state. The school's performance in these core subjects is a key strength, as it outpaces the surrounding district and state averages.

While the school's academic performance is strong, there has been a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.9% in 2021-2022 to 19.0% in 2024-2025. This is an area that the school should focus on improving. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $10,219 in the 2018-2019 school year is slightly lower than the nearby Washington Elementary School ($10,464) and Longfellow Elementary School ($10,985), but its student-teacher ratio of 12.9 in 2023-2024 is lower than these nearby schools, indicating a relatively favorable staffing situation.
