Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 302 students in Port Washington, Wisconsin, a lakeside community in Ozaukee County, and it belongs to the Port Washington-Saukville School District, which ranks 51st of 432 Wisconsin districts (88th percentile, 4 stars). Statewide, Lincoln ranks 198th of 1,039 elementary schools in 2025–26 — 81st percentile, still a top-quintile result.

Attendance is Lincoln's standout strength. In 2024–25, chronic absenteeism was just 4.5%, less than half the district's 9.6% and roughly one-quarter of the state's 17.3%. Academically, Lincoln scored above the state average in every tested subject in 2025–26. Fourth grade English language arts (71.74%) and science (69.57%) edged above the district as well. Subgroup results are also notable: effectiveness for special education students and low-SES students has been strong, with low-SES students at the 86th percentile in 2025–26 and special education students at the 91st.

Still, there are areas worth watching. Lincoln's statewide rank has slipped from 92nd percentile in 2023–24 to 81st in 2025–26. Third grade math is the clearest weak spot: 64% proficiency versus the district's 74.85%, a sharp drop from 84.09% in 2023–24. Within the same district, Dunwiddie Elementary now ranks higher (93rd percentile) despite higher poverty and higher absenteeism, while Saukville Elementary trails Lincoln. Compared with nearby high performers such as Parkview Elementary, Thorson Elementary, Westlawn Elementary, Oriole Lane Elementary, Kennedy Elementary, and Woodview Elementary, Lincoln sits mid-pack, though it still outperforms Ozaukee Elementary and Sugar Maple Nature School. Male students are another gap — their effectiveness percentile fell to 69th, compared with 91st for female students.
