Abraham Lincoln Elementary School

I wanted to share my experience with this preschool in hopes that it encourages some reflection and improvement. The teachers themselves are very kind and caring, and it’s clear they genuinely like working with children. Unfortunately, the school as a whole seems to lack the resources and systems needed to support a preschool environment.The student–teacher ratio is quite large for a preschool classroom, which makes it difficult to give young children the level of attention and guidance they need at this age. Classrooms appear crowded and chaotic, and the program does not seem well-equipped to handle typical preschool behaviors.At this stage of development, children are still learning how to regulate emotions, share, and interact with peers. Preschool should be a place where children are taught and guided through these social-emotional skills. Instead, the school does not appear to collaborate with families to help children grow through challenges.When normal three-year-old behaviors arise, the response seems to be removing or dismissing students from the school rather than working with parents and developing strategies to support the child’s development. While the teachers are kind, the program itself does not seem structured or equipped to support the developmental needs of young children.Families looking for a preschool that partners with parents and actively teaches social-emotional skills may want to ask detailed questions about class size, teacher ratios, and how behavioral challenges are handled before enrolling in this school.

Mediocre school with terrible leadership, focused more on how the school looks on Instagram than supporting kids and their education. Under-resourced and under-qualified teachers handling too many kids simultaneously. Teachers aren’t appropriately trained on how to work with kids with literally *any* behavioral issues, much less difficult ones. Pervasive and unchecked bullying (particularly in more senior grades).Literally the only reason to send your kids here would be if you *absolutely need* your kid to go to a private Armenian school and you’re too far away to send them to Pilibos.
