Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 328 students in the Lynwood Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Lincoln is a 2-star school that shows both challenges and notable strengths, particularly when compared to other schools in its own district. It outperforms nearby Lynwood schools like Roosevelt Elementary and Wilson Elementary in math and is a standout in science, scoring significantly higher than the district average. The school has shown resilience, improving its statewide ranking after a pandemic-era low, and it demonstrates particular effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners and Hispanic students. However, chronic absenteeism, while improving, remains a challenge, and math scores tend to decline in the upper grades.

A key finding is the performance gap between schools in Lynwood Unified and those in the neighboring Los Angeles Unified district. Nearby LAUSD schools, such as Victoria Avenue Elementary, have much higher proficiency rates in English and math, significantly lower chronic absenteeism, and benefit from greater per-student funding. This highlights that while Lincoln performs competitively within its own district context, broader systemic factors related to district resources and support appear to play a major role in school outcomes.
