Lincoln Elementary

Public Grades K-6

5530^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of California elementary schools

Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 345 students in the Pomona Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 6% of all California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science among the lowest when compared to nearby schools like Washington Elementary and Lopez Elementary. A particularly concerning issue is chronic absenteeism, with about one in three students missing too much school, a rate higher than the district and state averages and second only to San Jose Elementary locally. This academic struggle represents a sharp decline from a decade ago when the school performed significantly better.

An interesting finding is that Lincoln Elementary spends more per student than most neighboring schools, yet achieves lower results, creating a puzzle for resource allocation. In contrast, Cortez Elementary, just over a mile away, achieves much higher academic results with similar student demographics and slightly lower spending. The school has shown some recent, slight improvement from its lowest point, and it has managed to improve its student-to-teacher ratio, which is now better than many area schools.
