Summary

Lincoln Elementary in Edinburg, TX, is a PK-5 public school in the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District serving about 400 students in a high-poverty area, where over 89% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Lincoln Elementary has experienced a significant decline in recent years, dropping from a top 25% ranking in 2019 to the 45th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year. This is especially concerning when compared to its closest neighbor, Austin Elementary, which is just 0.3 miles away and serves a similar student population but has soared to the 87th percentile. The school's performance with Special Education students is alarmingly low, ranking in the 2nd percentile statewide, which is a major driver of the overall decline. Additionally, 3rd-grade proficiency rates are a major concern, with only about 35% of students proficient in Reading and 37% in Math—significantly below district and state averages.

Despite these challenges, Lincoln has historically been strong in serving students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 89th percentile for this group in 2023-2024. However, this strength has faded, dropping to the 59th percentile. Interestingly, the school's per-student spending is among the highest of nearby peers, indicating that the decline is not due to a lack of financial resources but likely school-specific factors like leadership or instructional effectiveness. The school must urgently address its support for Special Education students and investigate the sudden drop in performance for female students, while looking to Austin Elementary as a model for success with a similar student body.
