Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K–5 school in Oakland, California, serving 664 students in Oakland Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 56% in English language arts (ELA), 67% in math, and 59% in science. Most importantly, Lincoln outperformed both its district and the state in all three subjects.

Lincoln’s strongest relative results are in math and science, while ELA is its smaller—but still positive—advantage. Compared with statewide rates, Lincoln was ahead by 6 points in ELA, 28 in math, and 23 in science; its leads over Oakland Unified were 21, 39, and 31 points, respectively. It also had the highest results in all three subjects among five nearby K–5 schools in the district with comparable results, exceeding their averages by 28 points in ELA, 40 in math, and 36 in science. Fifth grade stands out: Lincoln’s grade-5 results were 67% in ELA, 74% in math, and 59% in science. Chronic absenteeism was another positive comparison: 7% at Lincoln, versus 30% in the district and 18% statewide.

Results have moved differently by subject: science rose 12 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 5 points from its earlier level, and math was nearly flat; Lincoln’s state lead narrowed in ELA and math. SchoolDigger ranked Lincoln at the 80th percentile in California and gave it 4 stars for 2025–2026, down from the 85th percentile in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves African American students placed Lincoln at the 96th percentile, 16 points above its overall ranking. Its Special Education Students ranking fell from the 92nd percentile to the 75th over the same period, five points below the overall result. For context, 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average of 77%; the student-teacher ratio was 24.1 that year.
