Summary

Lincoln Elementary serves 283 students in grades PK–4 in New London, Wisconsin, and is the largest of the four elementary schools in the New London School District. It is a high-need building: 56.89% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — the highest rate in its district and among the eleven nearby schools compared here — and its per-pupil spending of $14,238 in 2024-25 is the lowest of the four district elementaries, with staffing at 13.8 students per teacher. Statewide, the school ranks 593rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools for 2025-26 (43rd percentile, 2 stars).

Results are uneven and have softened over time. Lincoln was a 4-star, 70th–82nd percentile school from 2015-16 through 2018-19, but has landed between the 43rd and 52nd percentile every year since 2020-21. The latest dip is mostly a 3rd-grade story: 3rd-grade ELA and math each trail the state by roughly 11–12 points, while 4th grade beats the state in ELA, math, and science. Science is the most consistent strength, above the state in all four recent years; social studies trails the district every year. Attendance is the standout improvement, with chronic absenteeism cut from 16.0% to 6.8% in a single year — below the district and under half the state rate. The closest comparison, Parkview Elementary 0.76 miles away, has similar enrollment, poverty, staffing, and spending yet ranks at the 80th percentile with 4 stars.

The overall rating understates how well Lincoln serves several of its highest-need students. English learners rank in the 85th percentile statewide (up from 65 three years earlier), Hispanic students in the 88th, and special education students moved from the 29th percentile in 2022-23 to the 71st in 2024-25. The overall score is held down instead by the school's largest student group, which sits at the 31st percentile and has declined three years running. In short: real strengths in science, 4th-grade math, attendance, and work with English learners and students with disabilities, with clear room to grow in 3rd-grade reading and math and in social studies.
