The gap between those numbers matters: 25.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 48.9% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary ranks #540 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 91st 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.

Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Abraham Lincoln Elementary increases by 2.6 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth.
