of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 3% of California elementary schools

Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 736 students in the Manteca Unified School District, but it is currently one of the lowest-performing schools in California, ranked in the bottom 3% of all elementary schools.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with only 18% of students proficient in English and 9% proficient in math, which is dramatically lower than nearby schools like Veritas Elementary (47% English, 39% math) and Brock Elliott Elementary (41% English, 19% math). Performance is especially low in middle school grades and in mathematics. Chronic absenteeism, at 23%, is also higher than the state average and contributes to these challenges, though other local schools with similar attendance rates achieve better results.

Interestingly, Lincoln spends more per student ($15,378) than several higher-performing comparison schools and has a lower student-teacher ratio, indicating that resources alone are not driving outcomes. The school has shown a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years. While the entire district faces performance hurdles, the stark difference between Lincoln and schools like Veritas Elementary suggests that school-specific factors in leadership, instruction, and resource use are key areas needing attention to improve student learning.
