Summary

Lincoln Heights Elementary is a public Pre-K through 6th grade school serving 435 students in the Spokane School District, notable for its clear and consistent multi-year improvement from the bottom quartile to the top 40% of Washington state schools.

Academically, the school performs at or above state averages, with particular strengths in math and science, and it shows exceptional effectiveness in serving Hispanic students and those from low-income families. This balanced performance across student groups stands out compared to some neighboring schools that may have larger achievement gaps. While the school serves a population with significant economic need, it operates with moderate per-student spending, achieving better outcomes than higher-spending schools like Grant Elementary and Frances Scott Elementary.

The school's recent improvement accelerated notably, coinciding with gains for low-income and female students. However, internal data shows a need for targeted support for multi-racial students and in fifth-grade math. Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Heights performs well given its student demographics, with a similar profile to Franklin Elementary but on a stronger upward trend than schools like Adams Elementary.
