Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 505 students in the Sanger Unified district, a community where the school faces significant academic challenges despite having reasonable class sizes and good funding.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are well below both district and state averages, with science proficiency being a particular area of concern. Chronic absenteeism, at 20.3%, is higher than at many neighboring schools like Centerville Elementary (7.0%) and Del Rey Elementary (6.8%), which also serve high-needs populations but achieve stronger academic results. Performance has declined notably for English Learners in recent years, and there are uneven results across different grade levels.

While Lincoln has improved from a 1-star to a 2-star school over the past decade, its current ranking places it in the bottom half of California elementary schools. The existence of higher-performing schools within the same district, such as Fairmont Elementary and Ronald W. Reagan Elementary, shows that better outcomes are possible for similar student populations, indicating room for targeted improvement in attendance, curriculum, and support systems at Lincoln.
