Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 587 students in the Colton Joint Unified district, which serves a high-needs community in Colton, CA.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science consistently below state averages. Its performance has been uneven from year to year. However, when compared to other schools in its own district, Abraham Lincoln Elementary is middle-of-the-pack, performing better in math than several peers like William McKinley Elementary and Alice Birney Elementary. A notable and concerning trend is a large academic gap between boys and girls at the school, with boys performing significantly higher, which is unusual for elementary schools. The school has made good progress in improving student attendance, which was a major issue after the pandemic, though it remains higher than the district average.

Compared to some nearby schools in other districts with similar student populations, such as Dr. Ernest Garcia Elementary in Rialto Unified, Abraham Lincoln's academic results are lower despite similar levels of funding per student. This suggests the school has room to improve how it uses its resources. Within its district, schools like Ulysses Grant Elementary achieve stronger results, showing that better outcomes are possible in the same community.
