Summary

Abraham Lincoln Middle is a public school serving 892 students in grades 7-8 in Selma, CA, operating within the Selma Unified school district, which faces significant challenges statewide.

While the school's overall academic scores are below state averages, it performs notably better than expected given that over 93% of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Its most significant strength is in effectively supporting specific student groups; for instance, its English Language Learner program ranks exceptionally high compared to other California schools. The school also manages student attendance well, with a chronic absenteeism rate lower than both the district and state averages, which is a positive indicator of student engagement and support systems.

Compared to nearby schools, Abraham Lincoln Middle occupies a middle ground. It significantly outperforms lower-performing neighbors like Parlier Junior High and Elizabeth Terronez Middle, but trails top performers like General Grant Middle. The school shows a consistent but small performance gap between female and male students and has seen some fluctuation in science scores in recent years. Overall, it represents a relative strength within its district, achieving moderate success through efficient use of resources and targeted support for vulnerable student populations.
