Summary

Lincoln-Erdman Elementary is a PK–5 school at 4101 N 50th St in Sheboygan, WI, serving 394 students as part of the Sheboygan Area School District.

Lincoln-Erdman has earned 4 stars for ten consecutive years, ranking between the 73rd and 88th percentile of Wisconsin elementary schools in each of those years while its district sits in the 21st percentile. In 2025-26, proficiency topped district averages in every subject tested, with the largest margins in 4th-grade math (78.2%, about 25 points above the state), 4th-grade science (74.5%, roughly 21 points above), and 4th-grade social studies (80.0%). Reading is closer to the state line, especially in 3rd grade. Chronic absenteeism was just 4.8% in 2024-25, compared with 21.5% across the district and 17.3% statewide, and no measured student subgroup fell below the 49th percentile. Results held steady even as free/reduced lunch eligibility climbed from 32.5% to 45.9% in two years.

Compared with nearby schools, Lincoln-Erdman gets strong results at lower cost: $13,726 per student, versus $18,620 at James Madison Elementary (2 stars, 40th percentile) and $19,607 at Jefferson Elementary (1 star, 11th percentile). Grant Elementary (25.4%) and Sheridan Elementary (31.5%) post far higher absenteeism. Only Etude Elementary matches its 4-star rating in-district, while Lake Country Academy - Charter is 3-star. Kohler Elementary ranks 99th percentile but serves a very different population, making Sheboygan Falls Elementary — similar poverty levels, 36th percentile — a fairer nearby benchmark. One watch item: the 2025-26 slip to the 73rd percentile alongside a rising 15.1:1 student-teacher ratio.
