The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, and it has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 14.4% in 2020-2021 to 33.5% in 2022-2023. In contrast, Willow Glen High consistently outperforms Abraham Lincoln High in areas such as graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism, while San Jose High struggles with even lower test scores and higher dropout rates.
The school's high percentage of students (53.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, may contribute to the school's challenges in academic performance and attendance. Additionally, the presence of Middle College High, a small public high school located just 0.89 miles from Abraham Lincoln High, provides an interesting contrast, as it consistently outperforms Abraham Lincoln High in areas such as graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism, despite serving a smaller student population.
