Summary

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Kingsport, TN serves 420 students in grades PK-5. Part of Kingsport City Schools, a district ranked 21st in Tennessee, the school earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 74th percentile statewide (267th out of 1,019 elementary schools) for 2025–2026. This places it in the middle-to-upper tier among the 10 nearby schools, with 5 ranking higher and 5 ranking lower.

Academically, the school is strong in math and English language arts compared to the state. Math proficiency is 55.7% (vs. 43.0% statewide) and ELA is 55.0% (vs. 40.6% statewide). Science is the clear weak spot: 51.7% proficiency sits 7 points below the district average and trails 7 of 10 nearby schools, including Andrew Johnson Elementary (66.4%) and Thomas Jefferson Elementary (66.1%). There is also a striking grade-level contrast: 5th grade math is a standout at 73.8% proficiency, second only to George Washington Elementary (74.4%), while 4th grade math is the lowest in the area at 46.3%, well below the 62.9% district average.

Chronic absenteeism runs at 23.0%, notably higher than nearby top performers like Rock Springs Elementary (11.0%) and Thomas Jefferson (11.4%). However, the school achieves exceptional outcomes for historically underserved groups: African American students rank in the 89th percentile statewide, low-income students in the 88th percentile, and special education students in the 78th percentile. Lincoln has also climbed from a 1-star rating in 2016–2017 to 4 stars in 2025–2026, with per-student spending of $15,585. If the school can close the science gap and reduce absenteeism, it is well positioned to join the top tier of Kingsport-area elementary schools.
