Summary

Lincoln (Abraham) High is a public high school in San Francisco serving grades 9–12, with 2,074 students in the San Francisco Unified district. Its results are mixed: graduation is a bright spot, but chronic absenteeism is the most urgent concern, rising to 33% in 2025–2026—15 percentage points above the state rate.

Lincoln’s English and science results are stronger than the state’s, while math is its clearest academic weakness. In 2025–2026, 56% met the ELA standard and 41% the science standard, compared with 49% and 36% statewide; both results were below the district’s 54% and 44%. In math, 36% met the standard, below both the state’s 38% and the district’s 46%. Among eight nearby schools, Lincoln ranked fifth in each subject: its scores were above the peer-school median but below the peer average. Graduation is a counterpoint: Lincoln’s 90% rate was above the state’s 88% and the district’s reported 55%.

Scores have changed little overall across four reported years, but the latest results fell from recent peaks: math dropped 11 percentage points and science 11, while ELA returned close to its starting level. SchoolDigger’s standing also weakened, from the 85th percentile and 4 stars in 2024–2025 to the 69th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026. Lincoln’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.4, the highest among nearby schools with reported figures, compared with their 18.3 average. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 55% in 2024–2025, about 5 percentage points above the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students was notably higher than its overall ranking: the group ranked at the 88th percentile versus 69th overall. Its ranking for Homeless Students rose from the 41st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 85th in 2025–2026; these percentiles describe SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves each group.
