Summary

Lincoln Acres is a public elementary school serving 423 students in grades K-6 within the National Elementary district in National City, CA, and it currently faces significant academic challenges, ranking among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

The school's academic results are substantially below state averages, with only about a quarter of students proficient in English and Math, and it has a high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 26%. While the entire National Elementary district ranks low, other schools within it, like Palmer Way and Ira Harbison, perform much better, demonstrating that stronger outcomes are possible in the same community. Interestingly, Lincoln Acres spends more per student than several of these higher-performing neighboring schools, indicating that how resources are used can be as important as the amount.

Despite overall struggles, the school shows relative strengths in supporting English Language Learners and Special Education students. A key area for potential improvement is attendance, as higher-performing schools like Ira Harbison have much lower chronic absenteeism. The school's performance has declined over the last decade, but its past higher ranking and the success of similar schools in the area suggest there is a foundation and local examples to learn from for improvement.
