Lincoln Unified

Summary:

The Lincoln Unified School District in Stockton, CA, consists of 12 schools serving about 9,300 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a mix of nine elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools.

Performance varies widely across the district. Brookside Elementary is the clear top performer with high test scores and excellent attendance, while John McCandless Charter is also strong. In contrast, Claudia Landeen and Tully C. Knoles elementary schools face significant academic and attendance challenges. At the high school level, Lincoln High shows positive trends with a high graduation rate, but Village Oaks High, despite perfect graduation metrics, has extremely low test scores and severe absenteeism.

Key district-wide takeaways include a graduation rate that exceeds the state average, but academic proficiency and chronic absenteeism lag behind. The stark differences between schools suggest that school-level practices are crucial, and reducing absenteeism appears to be a foundational challenge for improving outcomes across Lincoln Unified.
