Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Kingsburg Elementary Charter, and across California. ■ Green: a group that is behind across California does much better here, by 10 points or more and more than twice the margin of error.
Asian and military-family students, English learners and students with disabilities: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for Black or African American, Filipino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander and homeless students, students of two or more races and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

What you can do
Lincoln’s own board decides its plan.
Where is its yearly plan?
Lincoln is a charter school that CDE lists as locally funded, through its district. Kingsburg Elementary Charter authorized this charter; its current term ends June 30, 2028.
Authorizer from the California Department of Education’s charter term file; term from its Charter School Database, checked October 22, 2026. Source
State support
The state hasn’t placed Lincoln in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

Questions to ask
Bring these 5 questions to Lincoln. Confirm anything about applying with the school itself.
Getting in
Ask Lincoln how it admits students. Charter schools set their own enrollment steps and dates. No assigned next school.
Lincoln is a charter, so a student’s later schools follow the family’s home address, not this campus, unless the family applies elsewhere. Each school’s standing compares it with California schools at its own level.

Its own plan
$40.7 million is planned for 26 funded actions in 5 goals. That’s 94% of its $43.5 million general fund budget.

Three actions take 54% of the money. The plan itself puts 80% of it toward staff.
4 of the plan’s 26 funded actions name reading, math, catch-up help or English learners in their titles.
Largest of these
It plans $7.5 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $7.5 million and estimates it spent $6.4 million, $1.1 million (14%) less than planned (our arithmetic).
Ask: Why did estimated spending on these services come in $1.1 million under the 2025–26 plan, and where does that money go in 2026–27?
The total is $584,560 (1%) higher than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Closing the Achievement Gap, which went from $2.0 million to $2.5 million.

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the school tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.
We calculate each action’s share of the plan by dividing its planned amount by the total of the plan’s funded actions ($40.7 million).
