“The students” vs “students”
Main Post:
Got into an argument with someone about this. Say ABCD is the abbreviation of some school district. Would you say “the ABCD students can” or “ABCD students can...”?

“Lincoln Park Elementary students can read at grade level.”
“The Lincoln Park Elementary students can read at grade level.”
Either works but the first is more natural. Maybe the second one is more likely if it’s like an exasperated reply to someone saying “None of these school kids can read at great level!”
