Summary

Lincoln Street Elementary School is a K–6 school with 397 students in Hillsboro School District 1J in Hillsboro, OR. Although the district ranks 69th of 141 in Oregon (51st percentile, 3 stars), Lincoln Street ranks 668th of 709 statewide in 2025–2026 — the 6th percentile with 0 stars. It has ranked between the 1st and 8th percentile in the years shown and has never earned a star.

On 2025–2026 OSAS tests, proficiency is far below district and state averages: English language arts 21.8% (district 38.8%, state 43.8%), math 13.9% (district 29.5%, state 32.9%), and science 5.7% (district 25.5%, state 30.6%). Sixth grade is the relative bright spot (ELA 32.7%, math 20.0%), while fourth grade is weakest (ELA 12.2%, math 8.2%) and fifth-grade science is 5.7%. Chronic absenteeism is 34.0%, above the district (31.8%) and state (33.5%). About 71.54% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $21,420 with a 17.3 student–teacher ratio. English language learners were a relative strength at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025, even as low-income students ranked in the bottom decile (8th percentile in 2025–2026).

Nearby comparisons are striking. High-poverty same-district schools such as Paul L Patterson Elementary School (70.37% free/reduced lunch) and Jackson Elementary School (68.59%) rank at the 88th and 92nd percentiles and post much higher proficiency, while spending less per student ($20,775 and $19,777). Imlay Elementary School is at the 80th percentile. Other nearby schools, including Eastwood Elementary School (2nd percentile), Mooberry Elementary School (10th), W L Henry Elementary School (12th), and Minter Bridge Elementary School (13th), perform closer to Lincoln Street Elementary School. W Verne McKinney Elementary School (46th) and Brookwood Elementary School (26th) fall in between, and City View Charter School (64th percentile) has very different demographics, much lower spending ($6,885), and a higher ratio (21.5) yet much stronger outcomes. These comparisons suggest resources and class size are not the main explanation, and chronic absenteeism plus very low math and science proficiency are urgent red flags.

Open Quote If No Stars were an option - that's what I'd give this school. Having had all summer to prepare for distance learning, the school and teachers are woefully prepared. Supplies they expect you to suddenly have, arrive days later. Teachers editing the lessons only moments before their sessions are to begin. I could go on and on about how horrible this has been. My student is lost, and... they have nothing better to say than, "Oh it will get better, you'll be surprised." Be prepared, for a lot of blank stares.... Parents, do your research before moving here.. This school has earned it's place at the bottom of the heap!!!! Close Quote

Open Quote Administration is absolutely terrible and gets worse with every year that passes. Bullying is a huge problem and the school focuses more on helping the student that is causing the harm than the one on receiving end. The only time anything becomes addressed is if the parent puts enough pressure on them and even then, nothing is done. There are plenty of other problems that parents shouldn’t tolerate happening at that school.

Not only are there issues with taking the safety of kids seriously, the school has such poor enrollment for English classes that all but one grade is combined this year. The teachers will ALL say the same thing, that the curriculum is very similar, it’s just the higher grade expands a little further. My oldest developed poor habits that I strongly feel is due to lack of challenge and hardly learned anything last school year. Some teachers have a real passion for what they do, but their voices go ignored by those above them.

Lincoln Street is failing many of our children on multiple levels. Change is needed and it should start with the principal. This school is a prime example of why it’s so important to talk to your children about how school is going and what is going on when they are there. Close Quote

Open Quote If it wasn't for our experience with a couple of the teachers, I'd give this school one star. The principal is almost never involved with parents and the rare occasion she is, she is unprofessional. The assistant principal is more involved, but neither seem to truly care about the students. They do not follow their own protocol and will drag their feet to look into anything. Whether it's something as serious as a child saying they had a gun in their backpack, a sub in teacher taking photos of kids on his phone throughout the day or assault and/or threats, it will take a long time for anything to even be looked into. Also, don't hold your breath for any sort of phone call assuring that they're looking into the issue or a follow-up cause it probably isn't going to happen.

Not only is safety of students not a priority, education can be worrisome. Each year the school seems to lose more students and more classes become combined. Do the lower grade children go through the same curriculum next year? Do the advanced kids in the higher grade get pushed to the side? I know that the answer for the 2nd would be heavily influenced by the teacher, but our experience this year was certainly disappointing.

If your child will be attending school here, I suggest that you document everything and push for meetings when needed. There are good teachers that pour their hearts into their classroom and it's incredibly unfortunate that administration is so poor. Close Quote

Open Quote The teachers at this school are clearly overwhelmed by the number of students in their classes. With this, there is little to no discipline provided to the young children and "problem children" are thrown out rather than just given basic immediate discipline that they need to become productive. Every interaction I have had has shown extreme disorganization on the part of the teachers and staff. Close Quote
