SCHOOL GRADES 2010/2011
Once again Lincoln made a grade A and an AYP!!!!
Lincoln Avenue Academy had 700 pts. on school grade calculation, placing us in a top 0.6% of all Florida schools ( 19th among all K-12 schools).
Once again, Lincoln has made an AYP for all demographic subgroups. We are proud that this year 100% students scored on grade level or above in mathematics. This makes Lincoln one of only 4 elementary (and 7 overall) schools to reach the target set by the No Child Left behind for 2014! 95% of all students met high standards in reading, far surpassing district and state averages! Our 4th graders were once again on top of their game in the area of writing. With an impressive overall average of 5 out of 6 they were one of the top 3 schools in our state. 26 students (30% of the grade level) scored the top score of 6!
We are proud of our staff, students, community and families who worked together to provide our students with a world-class education!
