Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K–6 public school with 531 students in San Bernardino, within the San Bernardino City Unified district. In 2025–2026, its proficiency was 22% in English language arts, 14% in math and 10% in science—below district results of 39%, 26% and 25%, and state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. It had the lowest all-grades results in all three subjects among the eight nearby schools in the same district. The most important concern for families comparing schools is that Lincoln’s core academic results remain well behind both local and statewide benchmarks.

Lincoln’s strongest relative result was Spanish Listening: 24% proficiency was above the district’s 21% and about level with the state’s 24%; Spanish Reading was lower, at 5%, and its overall Spanish result was 6%. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: 31% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 29% in the district and 18% statewide; Lincoln had the third-highest rate among eight nearby district schools with current data. Its 18.9 student–teacher ratio was lower than the nearby same-district average of about 20, but this has not corresponded with stronger test results. The school’s reported low-income measure was 72% directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025; California provides free school meals statewide, and the data indicate Lincoln likely serves free meals to all students.

English language arts and math have improved over the four years shown, while science has declined overall: English language arts rose from 11% to 22% and math from 9% to 14% between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026, while science fell from 12% to 10%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 1st percentile in 2021–2022 to the 5th in 2025–2026, but Lincoln still has 0 stars and ranks below nearby schools with current rankings, which range from the 23rd to the 86th percentile. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show a notable relative strength for homeless students, at the 57th percentile compared with the school’s overall 5th percentile in 2025–2026. By contrast, its ranking for students receiving special education services fell from the 18th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 1st percentile in 2025–2026. Nearby schools have different grade spans, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
