Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 386 students at 1132 NE 10th St in Grants Pass, Oregon, part of Grants Pass School District 7, which ranks 29th of 141 Oregon districts (79th percentile, 4 stars).

Lincoln is a school on the rise. In 2025–26 it ranked 253rd of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 64th percentile, 3 stars — up from the 38th percentile in 2021–22, a 26-percentile-point gain that lifted it from 2 stars to 3. Math and science are relative strengths: all-grade math proficiency is 44.4, above the district's 36.1 and the state's 32.9, and science is 38.9, above the district's 36.5 and the state's 30.6. Among same-district schools, only Redwood Elementary School is slightly higher in math (45.7), and only Riverside Elementary School is higher in science (44.4). English language arts is the relative lag: 45.4 is above the state's 43.8 but below the district's 50.9 and behind Highland Elementary School (50.3), Redwood (52.4) and Manzanita Elementary School (53.4). The gap is concentrated early: 3rd grade ELA is 39.0, below both district (49.9) and state (41.5), while 5th grade ELA is 57.7, above both.

Attendance is a real advantage. Lincoln's chronic absenteeism rate is 25.9%, better than the district's 31.8% and the state's 33.5%, and second-lowest among same-district schools behind Redwood's 19.4% — though about one in four students is still chronically absent. The school's results with low-income students stand out: that group ranks in the 90th percentile statewide with 5 stars, notable given that roughly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Special education students improved from the 26th percentile in 2023–24 to the 69th in 2025–26. Lincoln spends $16,903 per student, the lowest of the ten nearby schools compared, with a student–teacher ratio of 18.6 — yet still posts above-state math and science results.

Open Quote Phone number doesn't work. Seems they wrongfully punish students and therefore can't handle the calls. School should be embarrassed. If my kid went there I would transfer him immediately. Close Quote

Open Quote to punish a child because a parent cant get them to school on time is outrageous. in the early 80s i was that child. the school took me home once because i stunk. i also showed up late. i needed support not further embarrassment. today i have a good job my children are clean and on time. someone at that school should have been fired. it sucks your too chicken shit to answer the phone. the situation never should have happened.

Great school if you think public humiliation is a valid teaching tool for a 6 year old. Close Quote
