Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Glen Ellyn serves 559 students in grades K–5 and is part of Glen Ellyn School District 41. Its results are strong overall, but the clearest issue for parents to note is a third-grade ELA dip: 67% were proficient, compared with 83% in fourth grade.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, the district and the state: 77% were proficient in 2025–2026, versus 69% districtwide and 40% statewide, placing the school second among the ten nearby schools. Fifth-grade science is another strength, at 74% proficiency—8 points above the district and 26 points above the state—and also second among nearby schools. ELA is less distinctive: the all-grades result was 75%, 2 points below the district, though 19 points above the state and 1 point above the nearby-school average; the school ranked fifth among the ten schools in ELA. The third-grade ELA result was seventh among the nearby schools, despite being 1 point above the district for that grade.

Results have improved substantially since 2023–2024: ELA rose from 47% to 75%, and math from 54% to 77%. The school’s ELA gap with the district narrowed, while math has remained near its 2024–2025 level. SchoolDigger ranks the school 153rd of 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 91st percentile with five stars; it ranks third among the ten nearby schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.3, one of the highest in the nearby group. The school reported 12% free/reduced lunch eligible for 2021–2022, a figure that is not directly comparable with nearby schools’ figures from other years. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students was at the 63rd percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 95th percentile the year before, while its overall standing was at the 91st percentile.

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
