Summary

Lincoln Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 202 students in the Ventura Unified School District, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 20% of all California elementary schools.

The school's academic performance has declined steadily over the past decade and now falls well below both district and state averages, with only about a quarter of students proficient in English and Math, and even fewer in Science. This is notably lower than nearby schools like Pierpont Elementary and Loma Vista Elementary, which rank in the top 20%. Lincoln also contends with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.8%, which is above the district average, though this rate has improved in recent years.

Despite having the second-highest per-student spending among comparable schools in the district, Lincoln's results lag. Performance varies considerably between grade levels, suggesting inconsistency in instruction. The school is part of a geographic cluster of lower-performing schools, including Sheridan Way Elementary and E. P. Foster Elementary, indicating broader community factors may be at play. Comparisons with schools like Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Education suggest different educational approaches might yield better results with similar student populations.
