Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a high-performing public K-5 school serving 415 students in the Burlingame Elementary district, consistently ranking in the top 5% of all California elementary schools.

The school excels academically, with over 78% of students proficient in both English and Math, significantly above state averages, and it stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.8%. Lincoln achieves this excellence with moderate per-student spending compared to some neighbors, such as Hoover Elementary, and serves a student population with a slightly higher rate of economic need than the top-ranked North Hillsborough in the Hillsborough City Elementary district.

While part of a strong cluster of schools in Burlingame, including Franklin Elementary, Lincoln shows remarkable consistency year-to-year. An area for potential growth is science proficiency, which, while improved, trails its own high scores in other subjects and those of some comparable schools. Overall, Lincoln is a model of stable, high-quality education with outstanding student attendance and balanced achievement across different student groups.
