Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 502 students in the Paramount Unified district, standing out as a strong academic performer within its community.

The school consistently outperforms the district average, ranking first in math and second in English among its eight Paramount Unified peers like Major Lynn Mokler and Theodore Roosevelt. It achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than many similar schools. A major strength is its exceptional support for English Learners and students from low-income families, with performance in these groups ranking in the top tiers statewide. Attendance has also improved dramatically since the pandemic.

While a leader in its district, the school faces some challenges, including a noticeable drop in math scores between 3rd and 5th grade and lower science proficiency, though it still has the highest science scores in Paramount Unified. Compared to schools in neighboring districts, such as McKinley Elementary in Long Beach Unified, Abraham Lincoln remains competitive, particularly in English Language Arts.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, April 1, 2009

The administration is unprofessional as they lack the knowledge of their students rights. I am very sad to have had a phone conference with the school's Principal Mrs. Go because the Vice-Principal had taken my son's jacket do to the fact that it was not the school's dress code. The weather was very cold that day and instead of making his well being first they made the dress code priority. They forget to realize that he is attending a public school therefore he has the right of freedom of speech which includes the freedom to wear as he believes just as long as he does not hurt anyone. DO you think he was hurting anyone? Close Quote
