Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a PK–6 school in Marshfield, Wisconsin, serving 281 students as part of Marshfield Unified School District. In 2025–2026, Lincoln ranked 478th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 54th percentile with 3 stars — a step up from 2017–2022, when it generally sat in the 31st–48th percentile with 2 stars. Its two most recent years are its strongest on record, though it still trails its district's 68th-percentile statewide standing.

Two strengths stand out. First, attendance: in 2024–2025 only 1.8% of Lincoln students were chronically absent, far below the district's 8.2% and the state's 17.3%, and the lowest rate among all nearby schools reviewed — notable given that 58.72% of Lincoln students qualified for free/reduced lunch, the highest rate in this comparison group. Second, the school's work with low-income students: its low-SES subgroup ranked in the 70th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 44th percentile in 2023–2024 and above Lincoln's overall 54th percentile. Fourth-grade science and social studies are also consistent bright spots, at 64.44% and 75.56% proficient versus state averages of 53.46% and 65.51%. Class sizes are moderate, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.8, and per-student spending was $14,671 in 2024–2025.

Gaps remain in math and early literacy. Fifth-grade math was 43.24% proficient — 8.57 points below the state and 20.85 points below the district — while third-grade math and ELA (both 50%) and sixth-grade ELA (51.52%) also trail state averages. Among Marshfield elementaries, Lincoln ranks below Nasonville Elementary, Washington Elementary, Madison Elementary, and Grant Elementary. Madison is an instructive comparison: similar poverty (56.61%) and class size, a higher overall ranking (71st percentile), but chronic absenteeism of 14.4% versus Lincoln's 1.8%. Outside the district, Lincoln outranks Loyal Elementary, Granton Elementary, and Pittsville Elementary, is close to Spencer Elementary, and trails Stratford Elementary and Auburndale Elementary.
