Lincoln did not the opportunity to go to school very much. In rural Indiana where he grew up, there were no regular schools but once in a while a traveling school teacher would come through the area and hold classes for awhile. Lincoln estimated that all put together he spent about one year in school. Nonetheless he learned to read well enough to study law and pass the bar exam, so he was clearly very bright. He also loved to read, so I can confidently predict that he would have done very well in school if he had had the chance to go.
