Summary

Abraham Lincoln High is a public high school serving approximately 1,590 students in grades 9-12 within the San Jose Unified district, currently rated as an average-performing school in the state.

The school presents a mixed picture: it excels at graduating students, with a rate of 95.9% that outpaces both the district and state, but it faces significant challenges in academic proficiency, especially in mathematics where only about 20% of students are proficient. This math struggle is part of a broader trend seen at other area schools with similar student populations, such as San Jose High and Del Mar High. Another area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which is higher at Lincoln than at many neighboring comprehensive schools like Santa Clara High.

When compared to nearby schools, Lincoln's outcomes vary. It performs better than some alternative schools but lags behind others in core subjects. For instance, Willow Glen High shows higher math proficiency, and the nearby University Preparatory Academy Charter demonstrates notably higher proficiency in both English and math. The school's performance also varies considerably for different groups of students, with some groups performing very well and others facing greater academic challenges.
