Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K–8 school serving 333 students in Lindsay, California, in Lindsay Unified. Its clearest local strength is science: it ranks second among nine nearby schools in all-grade results, and its science proficiency is 9 points above the nearby-school average. The main takeaway, however, is that the school’s all-grade results remain below California’s in English, math and science.

Science is also the school’s strongest subject compared with the district and state: 33% of students were proficient, 3 points above the district but 3 below the state. English language arts (ELA) is the clearest area for improvement: 40% proficiency was 9 points below the state and 4 below the district, placing the school fourth among nearby schools. Math proficiency was 31%, 7 points below the state and 3 below the district; it ranked fifth locally and was 2 points below the nearby-school average. By contrast, science was 9 points above that local average.

Results have risen over the past four test years, especially in science: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, proficiency increased by 5 points in ELA, 6 in math and 20 in science. Improvement has not been steady each year, and the latest results are still below state levels. SchoolDigger places the school at the 37th percentile statewide in 2025–26, ranked 3,659 of 5,804 schools with 2 stars; the district is at the 46th percentile. Context includes a 17.5:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools, and 9% chronic absenteeism in 2025–26, below the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose to the 52nd percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 37th percentile, indicating stronger relative standing in how it serves this group. Its Hispanic Students ranking also rose, reaching the 48th percentile, 11 points above the overall result.
