I was disgusted to hear of how my family have been treated by this school and the teacher, Pereira. Seems like the teachers are either incapable, under-qualified, or just cannot be bothered to teach children. Instead they tried to push for my family’s young child to take medication, and this is not the first I’ve heard of this happening at this school. Very odd behaviour from all the teachers, staff and other adults involved within the children’s wellbeing. I would think twice before sending your child here, and if you take that risk I advise you to pay close attention to your child’s decline in mental health, learning abilities and overall wellbeing.Would not send my child here if it was the last school on earth!!

I love school but some teachers not good

Charlotte Islamic Academy is a private school in Charlotte that claims to offer a quality education. While Quran and Arabic instruction are areas of strength, the quality of education in other academic subjects is very weak. The school is largely family-run, which affects fairness and accountability. Families with personal connections to the administration or those providing significant financial support appear to receive preferential treatment. There is little structure, consistent discipline, or accountability for student behavior. Student conduct is a serious issue. Many students regularly skip class, disrupt lessons, waste instructional time, and play tricks on teachers. Some students use their phones to record teachers without consent. When teachers attempt to enforce rules, students may lie or refuse to comply. After disrupting class, students often claim teachers are “not teaching,” despite genuine efforts. Administrators and teachers with children enrolled have contributed to a culture of entitlement. When these students dislike a teacher, situations often escalate and lead to teachers disengaging or leaving. Students are sometimes left without consistent instruction. Academic integrity is compromised. Students are not held accountable for their work, and grades may be changed by administration without teacher input, undermining honesty and responsibility. The school lacks support for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, or language barriers. Some students as early as third grade cannot read, and non-English-speaking students receive little to no academic support. Students who want to learn are negatively affected by unchecked behavior. The work environment is toxic. Teachers are blamed for student behavior, gaslighted, and accused of dishonesty despite spending significant personal time preparing lessons. Several teachers have left for mental health reasons, and many parents have withdrawn students due to instability. This year alone, the fifth grade has had three teachers, and the school continues to struggle with staffing.While some staff members are personally kind and there can be a sense of community for those in good standing, the lack of leadership, stability, and academic quality makes this school a poor choice for families seeking a structured, well-rounded education.
