LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Lincoln Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Johnston City CUSD 1 school district, located in Pittsburg, IL with about 160 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 4th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, Lincoln Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Lincoln Elementary School is a public primary school located in the rural community of Pittsburg, Illinois, serving students within the Williamson County area. As part of the local educational landscape, the school focuses on providing foundational instruction to young learners, typically covering kindergarten through fifth grade. Being situated in a small, close-knit township, the school generally fosters a community-oriented environment where staff and parents work together to support student development in a focused, neighborhood setting.

Because it operates as a small-town school, Lincoln Elementary is characterized by its commitment to personalized attention and a supportive atmosphere that bridges the gap between home and academic life. While it adheres to state-mandated curriculum standards, the school often benefits from smaller class sizes, allowing educators to address individual student needs more effectively.
