Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Montgomery, TX, serving 472 students as part of the highly-rated Montgomery Independent School District (Isd). After years of strong performance, the school has experienced a notable recent decline, dropping from the 87th percentile statewide to the 64th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year. This shift is most evident in mathematics, where proficiency rates across all tested grades now fall below both district and state averages—for example, only 42% of 3rd graders met math standards compared to the district's 51%. The school also shows a widening gap in 5th grade, with just 60% proficient in reading versus nearly 71% district-wide.

Despite these challenges, Lincoln boasts a remarkable strength in 5th grade science, with proficiency rates that have nearly doubled the district average in recent years—suggesting an exceptional science program or teacher. The school also spends more per student ($10,379) than any in-district peer, including Lone Star Elementary and Keenan Elementary, yet this investment has not translated into competitive outcomes. The most telling comparison is with nearby Stewart Creek Elementary, just 2.4 miles away, which has risen to the 88th percentile while Lincoln has fallen. Stewart Creek's math proficiency rates are significantly higher—over 75% in 4th and 5th grades—compared to Lincoln's mid-40s.

Lincoln's subgroup data reveals a school that has historically excelled with certain student groups but now faces equity challenges. The school has been particularly effective for Hispanic and female students, ranking in the 90th percentile for both in 2023-2024. However, recent performance for White and multi-racial students has dropped to the 41st and 15th percentiles respectively. The school's decline may reflect lingering effects of disrupted early learning during the pandemic, as the current cohort would have been in kindergarten and first grade during COVID-19. For parents, Lincoln offers a strong science program and a history of success, but the current downward trend in math and upper-grade reading warrants close attention and conversation with school leadership.
