Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 526 students in the Fresno Unified district, located in a high-need area where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Lincoln presents a mixed picture with some notable strengths. While the school's overall state ranking is in the bottom half, it significantly outperforms the district average in mathematics, a standout achievement among nearby schools like Kirk Elementary and King Elementary. The school has also been historically very effective in supporting its English Language Learner students. However, it faces challenges with chronic absenteeism and, like all schools in Fresno Unified, very low science scores.

Compared to other schools in the area, Lincoln shows remarkable stability in its performance. It operates with moderate per-student spending but achieves comparable or better results than some neighbors with higher budgets. The local landscape is extreme, with high-performing schools like Sunset Elementary and Jefferson Elementary located very close to some of the state's lowest-ranked schools, suggesting factors beyond simple demographics are at play in student success.
