Abraham Lincoln Elementary School

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is ranked as the best elementary school in Medford. This is a phenomenal school.

Peaceful school environment.. Good student culture whenever my husband subbed as instructional aide here.

I have not been to this school, but after talking to many students from here, I have noticed a trend; the students hate this school. They don’t like this school for many reasons. Reason 1, the playground monitors wrongfully accuse students of making bad decisions, when they obviously didn’t. By doing this, the monitors make recess boring. Reason 2, the cafeteria food looks like it would poison you. Some of the meat is green. Reason 3, some teachers make students feel uncomfortable and unsafe when they yell at the students. And lastly, reason 4, the school doesn’t maintain their property well. In the bathroom, students are able to kick down the stall doors. If a student is in the going to the bathroom, they get their personal space violated when this happens. Also, there are major cricket problems. The crickets get into the classroom and jump on students. Overall, this school makes students feel uncomfortable and most importantly, unsafe.

If I had my druthers our child would not attend ALE. Class sizes are too large since open enrollment which means that kids are attending from as far away as Jacksonville and Hugo. For kids who are distracted easily, nearly 30 kids in class is far too many. Staff is not forthcoming about bullying. The principal has refused to remove personal financial and tax information from our students record that was submitted without consent. Due to the kid transporting from other cities, traffic can be a nightmare. I like the teachers, though I think they are overburdened with the volume of students.
