Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary is a highly-regarded K-6 public school serving 495 students in the Glendale Unified School District in La Crescenta, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in California.

The school stands out for its exceptional ability to support students from all economic backgrounds, achieving results that significantly outperform other schools with similar demographics in the area. For example, it ranks higher than nearby La Crescenta Elementary and dramatically outperforms Pinewood Avenue Elementary, a school in a neighboring district. Abraham Lincoln is part of a notable cluster of high-performing schools within Glendale Unified, including top-rated schools like Monte Vista Elementary and Valley View Elementary, though it does not reach the elite levels of the more affluent La Canada Unified district schools just a few miles away.

Key strengths include a remarkable reduction in chronic student absenteeism since the pandemic and particularly strong science instruction. The school shows a consistent record of improvement and delivers excellent academic outcomes in a cost-effective manner compared to surrounding schools. While it demonstrates outstanding success with economically disadvantaged students, there is a slight performance gap between male and female students, and there is room to grow in supporting students with special needs.
