Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 530 students in the Ontario-Montclair School District, with an academic performance that ranks in the middle of the pack statewide but has shown significant long-term improvement over the past decade.

The school has a clear strength in supporting specific groups of students, demonstrating exceptional effectiveness with homeless students, English language learners, and students in special education, where its performance ranks well above state averages. It also invests more per student than most nearby schools, which may contribute to these strong support systems. However, its overall test scores in core subjects like English and math are modest, and science proficiency is a notable area for improvement. The school has made impressive progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, now boasting a rate lower than both the district and state averages.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools reveal a complex picture. While Edison Elementary achieves much higher overall academic results with similar challenges and lower per-student spending, Lincoln's specialized support for vulnerable populations stands out. Similarly, the district's Online Academy serves a comparable student body but outperforms Lincoln across all subjects. These comparisons suggest Lincoln has successful practices in student support that could be a foundation for broader academic growth, particularly in addressing weaker performance in certain grade levels and in science.
