Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K–6 school in Fresno, California, serving 526 students in Fresno Unified. Its 2025–26 proficiency was 39% in English language arts (ELA), 41% in math and 19% in science. The clearest takeaway is that math is a relative strength, while science is the most pressing academic concern: science results were 17 points below the state and 7 points below nearby K–6 peers.

Compared with the eight nearby Fresno Unified K–6 schools, Lincoln was about 1 point above their average in ELA and 7 points above in math, but 7 points below in science; it ranked fourth of nine schools in ELA and math and sixth in science. Against the district, Lincoln was about even in ELA, 12 points higher in math and 4 points lower in science. Compared with California overall, it was 10 points behind in ELA, 3 points ahead in math and 17 points behind in science. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 28%, about 10 points above the state rate and 1 point above the district rate.

Results have improved over time: since 2022–23, ELA rose 14 points, math 4 points and science 14 points, though ELA and science still trail the state. SchoolDigger ranked Lincoln at the 49th statewide percentile in 2025–26 and gave it 2 stars; its percentile was 34 in 2023–24. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 18.8, below the nearby peer average of 19.3. The reported share of students free/reduced lunch eligible was 97% in 2024–25; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students was at the 70th percentile in 2025–26, above the school’s overall 49th percentile. For English Language Learner students, it was at the 77th percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 34th percentile that year.
