Summary

Abraham Lincoln School No. 14 is an elementary school in Elizabeth, New Jersey, serving 786 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Elizabeth Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's African American students have shown significant improvement in recent years, moving from the bottom 10% of schools in the state to the top 10%, the performance of Hispanic students and English Language Learners remains below the state and district averages. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 19.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state and district averages, with the percentage of students proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts ranging from 26.6% to 48.1% across different grade levels, compared to the state average of 44.9% to 57.1%.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Woodrow Wilson School No. 19 and Elmora School No. 12, Abraham Lincoln School No. 14 has slightly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that there may be some variation in the effectiveness of individual schools within the Elizabeth Public Schools district. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.84% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, also indicates that the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance.
