Summary

Lincoln School is a public elementary school in Layton serving 642 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade. Located in the Layton area on Antelope Drive, it is part of Davis District, which ranks around the middle of Utah’s districts. However, Lincoln’s school-level results are much weaker: it ranked 549th out of 563 Utah schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 2nd percentile with a zero-star rating. This continues a multiyear decline from the 21st percentile in 2015–2016.

Academic performance is low across all tested subjects, with mathematics the most urgent concern. Average 2025–2026 proficiency was 20.4% in English language arts, 12.2% in math, and 22.5% in science, compared with roughly 48% to 58% across Davis District. Sixth-grade math was particularly weak, with 7% of students proficient, versus 41.5% districtwide and 37.4% statewide. Lincoln also trailed nearby schools in most subjects. For example, Ellison Park School ranked in the 71st percentile, while Layton School ranked in the 42nd percentile and Antelope School ranked in the 37th percentile.

Attendance is improving but remains a significant challenge. Chronic absenteeism fell from 41.7% in 2021–2022 to 31.0% in 2024–2025, still well above the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%. Lincoln’s free- or reduced-price lunch rate was 46.42%, indicating greater economic need than at several nearby schools, although it was not the highest in the comparison group. Its 20:1 student-teacher ratio is fairly typical locally, so staffing levels alone do not explain the results. Leadership Learning Academy, in a lower-ranked district, nevertheless ranked in the 37th percentile and outperformed Lincoln in reported tested grades. Overall, the data point to a broad, persistent schoolwide challenge involving instruction, math achievement, attendance, and academic recovery.

Open Quote Certain classes simply aren't safe for students. The teachers and administration do their best to keep bullies away from others. But there are some students who simply shouldn't be allowed at the school. You know, because they have "rights" to an education too. Marking down a student's verbal and physical bullying doesn't matter when he comes back the next day and does it all over again. Close Quote
