Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 1821 Conde St in Janesville, Wisconsin, serving 291 students in the Janesville School District, where 76.3% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

In 2025-26, Lincoln Elementary posted its best statewide ranking in at least a decade: 643rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (38th percentile, 2 stars), up from the 20th percentile the year before. The gains were broad: 4th-grade ELA rose from 21.43% to 54.35% proficient, 5th-grade ELA from 20.93% to 51.28%, 4th-grade math from 30.95% to 60.87%, and 4th-grade science from 11.90% to 46.67%. Fourth-grade math now exceeds both district and state averages. Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism is 11.5%, well below the district's 22.0% and the state's 17.3%. That is far lower than high-poverty peers such as Madison Elementary (23.4%), Adams Elementary (23.3%), and Wilson Elementary (33.3%), and in the same range as wealthier Harrison Elementary (10.2%).

Two concerns stand out. Third-grade ELA fell from 54.35% to 33.96% proficient, making it the school's weakest tested cell; math also slipped. Because grades are small, one year could be noise, but next year's third-grade results will show whether this is a real regression. Male students rank in the 21st percentile (1 star) and special-education students also rank 21st with 1 star, the only group showing no real improvement, while low-income students (66th percentile) and English learners (62nd) are performing well above the school's overall 38th percentile. Lincoln Elementary spends $17,075 per student and has a 10.5 student-teacher ratio—more resourcing than most nearby schools—so parents will want to watch whether the 2025-26 gains continue.
