Summary:
The 02838 zip code in Rhode Island is home to a single public elementary school, Northern Lincoln Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 530 students. The school is part of the Lincoln School District, which is ranked 18 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Northern Lincoln Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in the 4th and 5th grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 34.6% to 38.9% in English Language Arts and 26.9% to 38.8% in Mathematics, compared to the district averages of 44.2% to 51.1% in ELA and 44% to 59% in Math. The school's proficiency rate in Science (NGSA) for all grades in 2024-2025 was 35.9%, compared to the district average of 42.8%.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $21,349 for the 2022-2023 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 in the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.43% in the 2023-2024 school year indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the equity challenges the school and district need to address.
