Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary is a K–6 school serving 587 students in Colton, California, in the Colton Joint Unified area. The most important finding is that in 2025–26, proficiency was below both district and state levels in all three tested subjects: 24% in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math and 11% in science.

Math is the school’s relative bright spot, while ELA is its weakest result against the district and nearby schools. Compared with district results, Lincoln was behind by 5 percentage points in math, versus 10 in ELA; its gaps to the nearby-school averages were 6 points in math and 8 in ELA. Math was also closest to the state, though still 23 points behind. Among nine nearby schools with results, Lincoln ranked third-lowest in each subject; nearby averages were 32% in ELA, 21% in math and 17% in science. These comparisons show that the low results span all three subjects, even though math is relatively closer to its benchmarks.

Math proficiency has declined steadily, from 25% in 2022–23 to 16% in 2025–26, while its gap to the state widened by 13 percentage points. Science gained 6 points over those years, despite a drop in the latest year; ELA fluctuated and ended 2 points below its 2022–23 result. Chronic absenteeism also improved, from 50% in 2021–22 to 26% in 2025–26, but remained 7 points above the state and 5 above the district. SchoolDigger ranked Lincoln at the 9th percentile in 2025–26, with 0 stars. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.5 in 2024–25, close to the nearby average of 22.0; 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s rankings of how well the school served student groups showed sharp declines: English Language Learner Students went from the 58th percentile in 2022–23 to the 30th in 2023–24, and Special Education Students from the 62nd to the 24th percentile.
