AL-MAMOOR SCHOOL

78-31 PARSONS BOULEVARD

At a Glance

A faith-rooted elementary school with a small, personal feel in Queens

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, faith-based elementary school with strong community bonds and who are comfortable with a culturally homogeneous peer group. Particularly well-suited for Asian-American families in the Queens area who value Christian education and want a school where their child will be part of a tight-knit community. Parents should plan ahead for the transition to middle school after 5th grade.

What stands out
  • Small school scale with a 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio — this means more individualized attention per child
  • Faith-based education with Church of God affiliation — values integration into daily school life
  • Serving pre-K through 5th grade — provides early childhood through elementary in one setting
  • Strong community cohesion — families tend to know each other, creating a village-like atmosphere
Things to consider
  • Very low demographic diversity — 90.5% of students are Asian, which may limit exposure to different perspectives
  • Only serves grades PK-5 — families will need to find a new school for middle school
  • Religious affiliation means some families may not feel it's the right fit
  • Smaller peer group means less built-in diversity of thought and experience
IdentityAs A Faith-Based School, Al-Mamoor Integrates Christian Values Into Its Curriculum And School Culture. The Small Scale Of The School Means Relationships — Between Teachers And Students, Among Families — Tend To Be Close-Knit And Community-Oriented.

Al-Mamoor School is a Church of God-affiliated private school serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. It's a small operation — just 243 students across six grade levels — with a 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio that allows for genuine personalization.

CommunityHomogeneous

The student body at Al-Mamoor is notably homogeneous: 90.5% Asian, with minimal representation from other racial and ethnic groups. White students make up 5.8%, and Black, Hispanic, and Multiracial students together represent just 3.2%. This means your child will be part of a very culturally specific peer group.
