Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 522 students in the Exeter Unified district, and it stands out as a rapidly improving school that is particularly effective in supporting its students.

The school has made impressive gains, jumping to a 3-star rating and now ranking above average statewide, with its strength in mathematics (47.5% proficient) notably outperforming both the district and state. This progress is especially significant given that the school achieves these results while spending less per student than several nearby schools like Reagan Elementary.

While Lincoln excels in many areas, its science scores are currently lower than the district average and significantly behind its sister school, Rocky Hill Elementary. Performance can also vary from year to year, which is an area the school is likely focused on. Overall, Lincoln Elementary demonstrates that a school can make strong academic progress with efficient resources, offering a positive and improving learning environment for families in the community.
