Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving 244 students in the Toppenish School District, a community where the school faces significant academic challenges common to the district.

The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Washington state, with proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science well below state averages. However, within its own district, Lincoln has relative strengths: it has the highest math scores among the four Toppenish elementary schools (Garfield Elementary School, Kirkwood Elementary School, and Valley View Elementary), and its third graders perform notably well. The school is particularly effective with its English Language Learner students, ranking in the 60th percentile statewide for that group. Despite receiving more funding per student than its district peers, this investment has not led to major improvements in its overall ranking over the past decade.

A striking comparison can be made with Zillah Intermediate School, located just a few miles away in the Zillah School District. Zillah achieves significantly higher proficiency rates in all subjects with lower per-student spending, highlighting a stark difference in outcomes between the two neighboring districts. At Lincoln, a concerning trend is that student performance drops sharply between third and fifth grade, suggesting instructional challenges in the upper elementary years that the school will need to address.
