Abraham Lincoln

Paramount is a working-class city tucked between Compton and Downey in the southeast corner of LA County, and Abraham Lincoln Elementary sits comfortably in the middle of the pack for the area — performing solidly above many of its neighbors in English and Math. Families looking for a stable, community-rooted school in a tight-knit part of the county will find a lot to appreciate here, especially given the district's strong focus on serving its predominantly Latino community. It's the kind of neighborhood school where relationships between families and staff tend to run deep, and where being part of the local fabric matters as much as test scores.
