Celebrating Progress and Strengthening Literacy
Our 2026 California School Dashboard is now available! This online resource helps families understand how schools are performing and where improvements are needed. At Abraham Lincoln Independent Study School, we have progress worth celebrating.
- Our graduation rate increased to 84.1%; an increase from the previous year by 7.7%
- Chronic absenteeism among students decreased to 15.6%, an improvement from the previous year by 8.9%
- The percentage of students considered prepared for college or careers increased to 13% - an increase of 7.8% from the previous year
We appreciate the hard work of our students, teachers, staff, and families in supporting student success!
At the same time, our Dashboard results show that we have important work ahead.
English Language Arts remains in the Red performance category, with students performing an average of 79.9 points below the state standard. Improving reading comprehension and writing is our highest instructional priority.
Reading and writing are essential skills in every subject, whether students are in elementary, middle, or high school.
Building on the instruction and literacy activities already underway, our teachers will provide live literacy instruction during morning meetings each week, helping students strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, and evidence-based writing.
Families, you are important partners in this effort! Please encourage your child to participate in morning meetings, read regularly, and discuss what they are learning. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to help every Falcon become a stronger reader, writer, and learner!
