Summary

Lincoln Acres is a K–6 school in National City, serving 423 students in the National Elementary district. Its 2025–26 proficiency was below the state average in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, and chronic absenteeism remained high at 29%, compared with 18% statewide. The clearest academic concern is math: 20% of students were proficient, 9 percentage points below the district and 19 below the state.

Compared with nearby schools, science is a relative strength and math the weakest subject. Lincoln Acres’ 27% science proficiency was about even with the district, 9 points below the state, and 2 points above the nearby average; only two nearby schools scored higher. ELA proficiency was 34%, about 1 point below the nearby average, 1 below the district, and 15 below the state. Math was the lowest result among the 11 schools in the comparison, well below the nearby average of 29%. Results also vary by grade: fifth-grade ELA reached 53%, above the state’s 49%, while third-grade math was 9% and sixth-grade math 13%—both the lowest among nearby schools serving those grades. The school’s absenteeism rate has improved substantially, falling 21 percentage points from 50% in 2021–22, but it remains higher than the district’s 24%.

Results have risen overall in ELA and science since 2022–23, but progress has not been steady, and math has made little net gain. ELA increased 14 percentage points to 34%, science rose 7 points to 27%, and math gained 4 points to 20%. SchoolDigger places Lincoln Acres at the 28th percentile, 6th among the 11 nearby schools, with a 1-star rating; its percentile has recovered from 13 in 2022–23. In 2024–25, 86% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, compared with a nearby-school average of 79%, and the student–teacher ratio was 24.8, the second highest among the nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure suggests stronger relative performance for English Language Learner Students, at the 39th percentile in 2023–24 versus the school’s overall 18th percentile that year; Special Education Students ranked at the 34th percentile in 2024–25 versus the school’s overall 19th.
