- Submitted by parent on July 09, 2024Terrible. My daughter came home from school upset because she was yelled at by the Arabic teacher, because she didn’t understand the question. Don’t send your kid here. The teachers have no patience for kids who are falling behind in class. The teachers have their favorites and let them get away with whatever they want, and makes the other students feel bad about themselves. Please for your own and child’s sake, don’t send your child here.
- Submitted by teacher on January 17, 2023The school needs to review its accreditation, we need our Islamic Schools to be accredited. The school has great teachers, and a great community, but requires new leadership (principal) to truly reach its potential.
- Submitted by parent on July 24, 2019The school has had ups and downs for the past 6 years. They became accredited in 2015, which is a big plus b/c of the standards. The Board is still rocky but is doing better and must really support school leadership to help overall improvement.
- Submitted by parent on May 18, 2018Not much educational value for the cost
- Submitted by parent on December 05, 2017Looking back to good old 2013, this school has changed A LOT. I mean it. A. LOT. In a good way, of course. It has 6+ new classrooms, which to my surprise, aren't outrageously small. I am envious towards the Pre-K'ers because they've only seen the school while it was amazing, and I've only seen it when it was 'good.' It's a great school, and it's always improving.
- Submitted by other on June 10, 2013The school had improved ALOT! The children now have a playground. The education is the schools top priority through out the year. From what I know of is that the students especially middle schoolers are ahead in math. eight graders taking algebra & seventh graders are taking per-Algebra. You learn arabic step by step with a actual qualified Arabic teacher. YES, the school is improving each year. It's a great school for students and satisfies parents.
