"Man from where can I start? straggle after straggle affter straggle. lack of strong leadership and professionalism makes it hard to work with the teachers to achieve the level of excellence that we expect from our kids. unfortunately I am taking my kid away from that school."This post is in reply to the above comment.I have 3 kids go to Huda Academy. 3rd, 1st and PK-4. School has its shares of issues and problems but then which place is perfect. It depends on the priority that we as parents have.School has excellent Islamic curriculum and strong environment that supports its islamic foundation. At the same time good curriculum for ELA, Maths, Science and Social Studies.As a parent I make sure I spend time with my kids to know exactly where they are in their respective classes. If i have an issue I approach their teachers, all the faculty including our principal are approachable, and valid issues gets addressed. I have nothing but praise for the faculty and principal who demonstrate excellent work ethic to compete with other schools in the area with such limited resources in comparison to better funded private and public schools.School participates in city and statewide science and spelling-bee competitions. Has great after school clubs such as chess, writing and drama. The teaching staff comes from all backgrounds and has a great diversity across faiths and races.I would recommend future parents to please contact the school administration and experience yourself, after all you are responsible for the future of your kids.
