Summary

Pittsburgh Lincoln K-5 is an elementary school located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 190 students. The school is part of the Pittsburgh School District, which is ranked 450 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Pittsburgh Lincoln K-5 has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 1100-1500 out of around 1500 schools over the past several years.

Pittsburgh Lincoln K-5 consistently underperforms the district and the state in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 13.6% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 27.9% for the district and 41.7% for the state. In ELA, 37.8% of students were proficient or better, compared to 39.3% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with proficiency rates dropping from the low 20s in Math and 40s in ELA a few years ago to the current levels. Despite the high per-student spending of $37,641 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, the school continues to underperform, indicating that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving academic achievement.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Pittsburgh Sunnyside K-8, Pittsburgh Dilworth K-5, and Pittsburgh Fulton K-5, generally outperform Pittsburgh Lincoln K-5 in both Math and ELA proficiency, despite serving similar student populations. These schools have higher rankings within the state, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to their academic success. The school may need to examine its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement that can better utilize the available resources.
