The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 70 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lincoln School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the past 10 years, indicating below-average performance.

Lincoln School faces significant challenges compared to some of its higher-performing nearby schools, such as William Penn School and Nibley Park School. The school has persistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 32.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools. Additionally, Lincoln School's test scores in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Granite District and Utah state averages across all grade levels.

While Lincoln School ranks highly for its support of English Language Learner students, it ranks much lower for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.11% to 66.89% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community could be crucial for improving Lincoln School's overall outcomes.
