  • Abraham Lincoln Elementary in Glen Ellyn does a pretty good job on the health front. The school always seems clean, which is reassuring, especially with younger kids. They are generally good about communicating when there are illnesses going around, like flu or strep, which helps us take precautions at home. The sick policy feels enforced – we've had our kids sent home for fevers, which can be inconvenient but shows they're serious about not spreading germs. Staff are responsive if you call with a health concern, though sometimes it takes a bit to get a return call during busy times. Overall, I feel our children are in a healthy environment here.

  • Abraham Lincoln Elementary in Glen Ellyn does a good job with health protocols. The school generally appears clean, and I appreciate the regular communication regarding common illnesses circulating, which helps me decide whether to send my child or keep them home. Their sick policy seems to be enforced consistently, as I've rarely seen obviously ill children in class. Staff responsiveness to health concerns, like a scraped knee or a sudden stomach ache, is usually prompt and reassuring. My only minor gripe is sometimes feeling a bit in the dark about specific contagion numbers, but overall, they manage student health well.

  • Abraham Lincoln Elementary in Glen Ellyn does a pretty good job. The school always appears clean and well-maintained when I'm there for events or pickup. They communicate about illnesses, like when there's a flu outbreak, which I appreciate. The sick policy is clear, and it seems like they enforce it reasonably well; I haven't seen obviously sick kids running around. My main quibble is staff responsiveness. Sometimes getting a quick answer to a health-related question, especially outside of school hours, can be a bit slow, but overall, we feel our child is in a healthy environment.
