Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a 505-student K–6 school in Sanger, served by Sanger Unified. Its latest results show math close to the state average, while ELA and science fall behind; science is the clearest concern, with 18% proficiency in 2025–2026—18 points below the state and 21 points below the district.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with state, district, and nearby K–6 results: 38% of students were proficient, essentially matching the state, though 5 points below the district and 3 points below the nearby-school average. ELA proficiency was 40%, below the state by 9 points, the district by 15, and nearby K–6 schools by 8. Fourth-grade ELA stands out as a weak spot: 33% were proficient, compared with 46% statewide. Science was also below the average for nearby K–6 schools, at 18% versus 25%.

Results have changed unevenly: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose 9 points and ELA rose 4, while science fell 16 points. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 46th statewide percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 36th percentile the prior year but below most nearby same-district schools. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.8, the lowest among the nine nearby same-district schools; in that same year, 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 75%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Hispanic students was 62, 16 points above the school’s overall ranking of 46; its English Language Learner Students ranking fell from 73 in 2021–2022 to 25 in 2023–2024. Grade-level percentages do not include tested-student counts, so small cohorts may make individual grade results less stable.
