Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Vancouver, Washington, serving approximately 280 students in the Vancouver School District. Located near several other elementary schools, Lincoln offers a relatively favorable 14.4 students per teacher and serves a community with significant economic need, with 60.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Lincoln’s 2025–2026 statewide ranking is 680th of 1,138 schools, placing it at the 40th percentile. Locally, it ranks about fourth among 11 nearby schools, behind Benjamin Franklin Elementary, Vancouver Innovation Technology and Arts Elementary, and Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary. Lincoln’s all-grade proficiency is 41.50% in English language arts, 42.47% in math, and 51.92% in science. Those results are above the district in all three subjects, with the largest advantage in math. Lincoln also compares favorably with schools such as Hough Elementary School in math and science, though it trails the strongest local schools by a noticeable margin.

The clearest academic strength is third grade: 58.14% of students are proficient in ELA and 76.19% in math, the strongest third-grade math result among the nearby schools listed. However, performance drops sharply in fourth grade, particularly in ELA at 28.85% and math at 30.19%, while fifth-grade math remains at 27.45%. Science is a brighter spot, rising to 51.92% overall and improving from earlier years. Lincoln’s ranking and ELA results have declined since 2023–2024, despite relatively high reported spending per student and favorable staffing. For families, the key question is how the school can extend its successful third-grade math practices into the upper elementary grades while strengthening ELA.

Open Quote My oldest son and my daughter both went through lincoln elementary in Vancouver, WA. Because of the wonderful assistance my kids received at lincoln, they were both selected for VSAA, and my son now attends an exclusive mid-western university. My daughter is now studying to be an english teacher in japan.

We used to live on 41st street, and loved the neighborhood and the kids! We attended every event and assembly, and I loved lincoln so much that I got a job working for the before and after school care program!

Principal Craig Hommnick was a wonderful person and a great resource for us while we were at lincoln. The staff was patient and wonderful! My daughter even had dyslexia, and due to the special attention she received at lincoln, she learned to unscramble the letters and words in her mind, and is now a straight A AP student!

I challenge ANYONE who says lincoln is not top in its class!

Love lincoln and miss the carnivals! Close Quote
