Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Has stayed near the 4th percentile since 2019.

Most rating sites would stop at “6% proficient” and call it done. Abraham Lincoln deserves a closer read. Four in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary scores 15 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 4th percentile of 5,721 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 6% meet the standard today, versus 13% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

Attendance & discipline · 2024–25

Kids here miss more school, and get suspended more, than the state average.

TK/K students miss school at roughly one and a half times the rate of Grades 4–6 students (30.1% vs 18.7%). Chronic absence here concentrates in the earliest grades — worth asking how the school works with new families on attendance.

23.5% of students miss a month or more of school, versus 17.9% statewide. High absence often tracks community stress — the data can't say why.

On the state's science test (CAST), 6% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
  • Ask what typically leads to a suspension, and what happens before it gets there.
  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.

What are Abraham Lincoln Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 6.2% of students at Abraham Lincoln Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 0.0% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 6.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 0.0% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Abraham Lincoln Elementary rank in California?
Abraham Lincoln Elementary ranks #5,499 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 4th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Abraham Lincoln Elementary?
23.5% of students at Abraham Lincoln Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 3.4%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Abraham Lincoln Elementary compare to other schools in Santa Rosa?
Abraham Lincoln Elementary scores 15/100 (4th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 305 students. Use the schools in Santa Rosa page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Abraham Lincoln Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Abraham Lincoln Elementary in Santa Rosa, 10.5% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 23.3% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Abraham Lincoln Elementary trails its district average for low-income students by 12.8 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (5.4% Math proficient); Hispanic students (8.5% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 9.9 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 133 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary: reading the evidence

Abraham Lincoln posts low test scores — and test scores are one lens among several. If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
