My wife had went here, she specifically clarified that she didnt want to be on camera whatsoever and her mother clarified to the school this same thing. They didnt care or respect it and we recently found out she was in a video and she wanted it to be deleted. She reached out to email them, and they did not answer.

Terrible. My daughter came home from school upset because she was yelled at by the Arabic teacher, because she didnt understand the question. Dont 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 childs sake, dont send your child here.

The 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.

The 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.

Not much educational value for the cost

Teacher's do there best, but the administration (Principle) does not improve the overall enviornment

Principle is in exit/retirement mode. She needs to move out to have a more engaging leader to run the operations at the school. Much change is needed.

Principle Rahima does not engage in complaints, she puts it right back at you and uses words like, kids at this school are "clumsy"

Looking 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.

The 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.
