Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving about 280 students in Vancouver, WA, operating within the broader Vancouver School District which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

When compared to nearby schools with similar student demographics, Lincoln stands out for its stronger academic results. For instance, it outperforms schools like Minnehaha Elementary School, Harry S Truman Elementary School, and Hough Elementary School, all of which serve a comparable population. Lincoln shows particular strength in science and in supporting specific student groups, such as those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, a notable contrast exists with the highly-ranked Benjamin Franklin Elementary, located less than half a mile away, which serves a much more affluent community and achieves higher overall test scores.

The school benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than many neighbors, which appears to support its relative success. Parents should note that the school's state ranking has fluctuated in recent years, and there are significant differences in performance between grade levels, with fourth grade being a particular area of focus. Overall, Lincoln represents a case of a school achieving commendable results for its community within a struggling district context.

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
