Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 548 students. The school is part of the Glen Ellyn School District 41, which is ranked 82 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 109 and 376 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests is impressive, with 70.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 76.6% proficient or better in Mathematics for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 5th grade, where the proficiency rates in both ELA and Math exceed the district and state averages. Additionally, the school performs exceptionally well for its female, male, and special education student subgroups, ranking in the top 10-20% of Illinois elementary schools in these categories.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been increasing over the past few years, from 7.6% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is an area of concern. When compared to nearby schools, such as Lincoln Elementary and Whittier Elementary in the Cusd 200 district, Abraham Lincoln's performance is slightly lower in some areas, particularly in Mathematics. Despite this, the school's spending per student has been increasing, suggesting a strong investment in its resources.

What people are saying
by a parent
Sunday, December 22, 2013

Open Quote f you have a child with special needs by no means put them at Lincoln or at any other school in District 41. They have the lingo of inclusion down but very often and too quickly look to self contained classrooms. All of the other parents we have spoken to that have children with special needs are highly dissatisfied. We constantly asked to be included in the IEP process and were constantly excluded. We felt very bullied by the administration. This District is sadly stuck in the 1950s when it comes to special education. Every time we made a suggestion or tried to voice our opinion we received a smile and a nod and then were completely ignored. Our child had a horrible experience here and often came home saying that she wasn't smart and that she hated going to school. If your child doesn't fit into a box this is not the school for them. Until the administration changes it does not appear as though the special education program will change either. Our other child that does not have any special needs is often bored and because he does so well does not have much access to the teacher. And the test scores at Lincoln have dropped off quite a bit over the last ten years. Close Quote
