Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 633 students in the Perry Township Schools district, located at 5241 Brehob Rd in Indianapolis, IN. In 2025–2026, it ranked 880th of 1,015 ranked Indiana elementary schools — the 13th percentile, with 1 star — below its own district's overall profile. Its most recent ILEARN results are low against district and state benchmarks: all-grade proficiency was 18.25% in English Language Arts, 23.02% in Math, and 16.53% in Science, with fifth-grade Social Studies at 21.67%. Perry Township's all-grade averages are 34.41% ELA, 34.4% Math, and 31.52% Science.

The school serves a high-poverty population: 80.73% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 20.7%, above the district's 20.4% and well above Indiana's 16.7%. Funding and staffing are not the obvious weak point: Abraham Lincoln spent $13,499 per student in 2023–2024 and had a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 14.6 — more per-pupil spending and a lower ratio than most nearby same-district PK–5 schools. The closest peer, William Henry Burkhart Elementary, is 0.74 miles away with similar poverty (76.84% free/reduced lunch) and lower absenteeism (16.7%), yet its proficiency is 29–34 percentage points higher in every subject (47.31% ELA, 52.51% Math, 47.89% Science, 56.12% Social Studies). That contrast suggests poverty and resources alone do not explain the results.

Abraham Lincoln is also in a multi-year decline: all-grade ELA proficiency fell from 26.19% in 2022–2023 to 18.25% in 2025–2026, Math dropped from 39.14% to 23.02%, and its rank slipped from the 31st percentile to the 13th. Chronic absenteeism has stayed above the state rate in every year shown. Among nearby same-district PK–5 schools, it trails Douglas MacArthur Elementary School, Rosa Parks Elementary School, and Homecroft Elementary School, and ranks second-lowest, ahead of only Clinton Young Elementary School (11.41% ELA, 22.22% Math). Nearby Christel House Academy South and Emma Donnan Elementary and Middle also post low proficiency, so the school is not alone at the bottom — but Burkhart shows stronger outcomes are possible with a similar student population.
