6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids are in 1st and 5th grades, and they enjoy attending this school. It might not be the best school out there, but it’s definitely a good one. The homework load is light, in my opinion. I don’t agree with those who complain about it—school isn’t an all-inclusive service. As a parent, you need to dedicate time and effort to your child’s development.Parent Review1y ago - Miftaahul Uloom School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA school that disables Google reviews limits transparency. Parents investing their hard-earned money deserve access to feedback before enrolling.I was warned by multiple people, including a former teacher, but gave the school the benefit of the doubt. My experience raised concerns about structure and communication. Parents are not consistently informed about what their children are working on. For first grade and above, students should primarily be seated at tables and chairs to support focus and discipline, yet children are often on the floor and academic goals are unclear.In some situations, support services or therapy were recommended quickly instead of increasing classroom staffing. Class sizes appear large relative to the number of teachers. If Arabic is not spoken at home, parents should carefully evaluate how instruction and progress are handled.Transparency and structure matter.Parent Review5mo ago - St Anne's Elementary School
