Original Research by School Decision on Lincoln Elementary School
Lincoln Elementary School, serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Brownsburg, Indiana, is part of the Brownsburg Community School Corporation. The school operates as a regular public elementary school in a town that sits roughly twenty miles west of downtown Indianapolis, in Hendricks County. Brownsburg describes itself as one of the fastest-growing communities in Indiana, a suburban place where new housing developments meet increasing demand and where the town’s economic development strategy emphasizes investment along the Ronald Reagan Parkway corridor. The town has a traditional Main Street area, parks and trails, and major employers that include manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare institutions.
Academically, Lincoln Elementary stands out within its county context. On the state’s ILEARN assessments, the school’s proficiency rates across math, English language arts, science, and social studies place it in the top quartile relative to districts in Hendricks County. The overall proficiency index, which averages performance across tested subjects and grades, is well above the county median. This is a clear strength. The school’s math and ELA results are particularly strong, and participation on the state tests was very high. Science and social studies results, while lower than the math and ELA figures, still sit above the county midpoint. For a school that serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report, and data on chronic absenteeism was not available in the source materials.
Lincoln Elementary enrolls several hundred students. The student body is diverse: about half the students are white, while roughly a fifth are Black, a tenth are Hispanic, and smaller shares are Asian or multiracial. More than a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a marker that gives a sense of the economic range families bring to the school. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the information provided, so those dimensions of student support are not described here. A parent may want to ask the school directly about how it serves those populations.
The school sits within a district that recently made a significant financial commitment. In May 2025, Brownsburg voters approved both a capital projects referendum for safety and security improvements at the high school and one of the middle schools, and an operating referendum that generates additional annual revenue for teacher and staff compensation and class size management. The operating measure replaces a prior one that was set to expire, making this a lasting change that affects both property taxes and school staffing. This district-level context matters for families considering Lincoln Elementary, as it signals an ongoing investment in the schools.
Housing in the Brownsburg area carries a cost above the state’s typical home value, reflecting the town’s growth and suburban appeal. The town has a mix of older and newer homes, with a notable share of residents owning their homes. Renters will find a market that, like many growing suburbs, has seen upward pressure. The town’s transportation is car-oriented, with access to interstates and a major corridor, though the town also maintains miles of trails that connect parks and neighborhoods.
The locale brief describes Brownsburg as having a traditional town center along Main Street, with Town Hall, parks, and civic institutions spread across the community rather than clustered in a single downtown campus. The school district itself comprises eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school distributed across town. Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park sits as a separate motorsports destination, adding to the town’s distinctive character.
Lincoln Elementary does not offer any programs data in the available material, so there is no detail about specialized offerings such as magnet, STEM, or arts programs. What is clear is that the school’s academic performance, measured by state assessments, is notably strong relative to its county peers. For a family looking at elementary options in a growing suburban district that has voted to invest in its schools, Lincoln presents an academic profile that stands above many surrounding schools. The enrollment is sizable for an elementary school, and the student body is economically and racially diverse. Parents should confirm details of special education and English learner services directly, as those figures were not provided in this summary.
