Summary

Lincoln Terrace Elementary is a public elementary school in Roanoke, Virginia, serving 252 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Roanoke City Public Schools district, which is ranked 114 out of 129 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Terrace Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's students perform significantly below the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.09% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, compared to 56.05% for the Roanoke City district and 71.56% for the state. Lincoln Terrace also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 27.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools, such as Preston Park Elementary, Highland Park Elementary, and Fallon Park Elementary, generally perform better than Lincoln Terrace on standardized tests and have higher statewide rankings, they still struggle compared to the state averages. For example, Highland Park Elementary, the highest-performing nearby school, had 84.72% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, compared to only 34.09% at Lincoln Terrace. The higher spending per student at Lincoln Terrace, ranging from $9,803 to $11,669 in recent years, does not appear to be effectively improving student outcomes.
