Summary

Abraham Lincoln High School is a large, well-regarded public high school serving about 2,100 students in grades 9-12 in San Francisco's Sunset District, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California high schools.

The school stands out for its strong and balanced academic performance, particularly in science, and its exceptional support for specific student groups, including English learners and students with special needs. With a 92% graduation rate and a lower rate of chronic absenteeism than many neighbors, Lincoln outperforms most similar comprehensive high schools in the area, such as Balboa High and Wallenberg (Raoul) Traditional High. It achieves these results efficiently, operating with a slightly higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several nearby schools.

While not as selective as the elite Lowell High or Asawa (Ruth) SF School of the Arts A Public School, Lincoln represents a consistently high-performing option within the San Francisco Unified district. The school has shown resilience, maintaining its quality through district-wide challenges and demonstrating effective post-pandemic recovery in student attendance.
