Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 563 students in the Dinuba Unified school district, and it has shown significant improvement, recently moving up to a 3-star rating and performing better than over half of all California schools.

The school has notable strengths, particularly in supporting students who are learning English or come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, where it ranks well above the state average. It has also made impressive progress in improving student attendance, with its chronic absenteeism rate now lower than both the district and state averages and better than nearby Dinuba schools like John F. Kennedy Elementary and Wilson Elementary. In English Language Arts, student proficiency is solid and exceeds the state average. However, the school faces challenges in mathematics and, especially, science, where its proficiency rate is below the state average and lags behind other local schools such as Roosevelt Elementary and those in the neighboring Kings Canyon Joint Unified district.

When compared across districts, schools in Kings Canyon Joint Unified, like Silas Bartsch and Washington Elementary, generally show stronger academic results and much lower absenteeism, highlighting a district-level difference. Within Lincoln, there is a noticeable performance gap between female and male students, and academic results can vary considerably from one grade level to the next. It's noteworthy that the school achieves these outcomes with lower per-student spending than most of the comparison schools.
