Abraham Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Abraham Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Santa Rosa, California, serving grades K-6 with 299 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (57.7% compared to the state average of 31.8%), extremely low academic proficiency in English Language Arts (10.53% vs. 47.04% statewide), Math (3.65% vs. 35.54% statewide), and Science (2.78% vs. 30.7% statewide). The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (69.9% vs. 55.8% statewide), which likely contributes to the achievement gaps seen across subgroups. Interestingly, nearby schools like Helen M. Lehman Elementary and Luther Burbank Elementary generally perform better than Abraham Lincoln Elementary, with lower chronic absenteeism rates and higher proficiency levels.

The performance of Abraham Lincoln Elementary has steadily declined over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from the bottom 20% to the bottom 1% in just over 10 years. This concerning trend suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes, and addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, targeted approach. The school's struggles are particularly evident when compared to the Santa Rosa Elementary District and the state of California as a whole.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
