A faith-rooted elementary school with a small, personal feel in Queens
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.
- Small school scale with a 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio — this means more individualized attention per child

- 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
- 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
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.
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.
Al-Mamoor sits in the Pomonok-Electchester-Hillcrest area of Queens, a neighborhood with moderate family density (48 families per 100 households). The area is largely residential and is home to a significant South Asian and Middle Eastern population, which explains the school's demographic makeup.
The school is located on Parsons Boulevard in a residential Queens neighborhood. Families in the immediate area can walk to school, though most families in this part of Queens will likely drive or use public transit.
