Abraham Lincoln consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with proficiency rates in MCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for Asian and White student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of schools in the state. However, the school performs relatively better for Hispanic and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the top 25-40% of schools. Abraham Lincoln has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic (around 50%) and English Language Learner (around 40%) students, as well as a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (around 80-90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

The nearby schools, such as Washington, Charles W. Morey, and Dr. Gertrude Bailey, generally perform better academically than Abraham Lincoln, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings within the state. However, these nearby schools still struggle to match the state averages in academic performance, indicating a broader challenge within the Lowell school district. Interestingly, Abraham Lincoln performs relatively well for its homeless student subgroup, ranking in the top 10-15% of schools in the state, but its performance for its disabled student subgroup is very low, ranking in the bottom 5-10%.
