Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving about 260 students as part of the Green Bay Area Public School District. The district ranks near the bottom statewide (383rd of 432 districts, 1 star), and Lincoln Elementary itself ranked 859th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 17th percentile, or 1 star. Over the past decade its percentile rank has stayed between 10 and 24, with no sustained upward trend. About 83.08% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, among the highest rates in the area.

Compared with nearby schools, Lincoln sits in the lower-middle of the pack. Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners (100th percentile), Aldo Leopold Community School K-8 (64th), and Chappell Elementary (40th) rank well above it, while Kennedy Elementary (16th), Fort Howard Elementary (15th), Jackson Elementary (15th), and Howe Elementary (9th) rank below. Spending is relatively high at $19,378 per student and classes are small (9.8 students per teacher), yet proficiency remains below district and state averages — resources alone aren't the bottleneck. Chronic absenteeism was 26.6% in 2024–2025, below the district's 27.3% but well above the state's 17.3%, and far higher than Aldo Leopold (8.7%) or Chappell (11.0%).

Test results vary by grade, subject, and year. In 2025–2026, proficiency was below district and state averages in most areas — third-grade English Language Arts was 21.95%, versus 37.24% district and 52.08% state — though fifth-grade math hit 42.11%, above the district's 35.8%. The year before was stronger in several subjects, including science (45.95%) and social studies (54.05%), both above district averages. Effectiveness also varies by student group: 34th percentile for low-income students and 20th percentile for students with disabilities in 2025–2026. Overall, Lincoln is a high-poverty school with small classes and real bright spots, but persistent challenges in achievement and attendance.
