Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 328 students. The school is part of the Pottstown School District, which is ranked 465 out of 606 districts in the state.

Academically, Lincoln Elementary School's performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (41.4%) and English Language Arts (37.3%) for all grades were below the state averages. However, the school's 4th-grade performance is relatively stronger, with 46.8% proficiency in Math and 44.7% in English Language Arts. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than White students and those from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower than Rupert Elementary School and Barth Elementary School, which are also part of the Pottstown School District. However, it outperforms the nearby Franklin Elementary School. When compared to schools outside the Pottstown district, such as those in the Boyertown Area School District and Owen J. Roberts School District, Lincoln Elementary School's performance is significantly lower. The school's high poverty rate, with nearly all students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a significant factor contributing to its lower academic performance.
