The staff is amazing and the families that we have met clearly have core values and a focus that we want our kids to be around.

The admins and teachers all seem wonderfully pleasant, and the kids that leave in the afternoon when I go to pick up mine all seem very happy. The assistant principal is especially sweet; I speak to her briefly most mornings. The school does seem a bit iffy on extracurricular activities. There are some; my daughter is currently in an after school art program. However, availability seems to be intricately tied to the husband/wife led PTO's funding and approval. This seems to lead to a lot of talking about activities, but little response when asked for details. We tried to volunteer for a host of activitiesast year, but never heard back. Perhaps if we went to more PTO meetings, that might change, but the one I did go to left me feeling as though the open policy was one of "come in and see how we do things," rather than "come in and participate." I don't know how common this is. We had PTAs when I grew up. Still, the school itself shows a lot of promise. I'm pleased as punch that they still provide art, music, and PE in this day and age. I feel safe sending my daughter in each morning, and even try to volunteer whenever I can.

The guys are the most annoying people I've ever encountered. Half the teachers don't even teach. They will take away the only thing you like about the school and try to cover it up by letting you wear white shoes. None of the bathroom doors lock. If you are an introvert you're out of luck.

From the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed with warmth, sincerity, and the light of true knowledge. The teachers don't just educate--they inspire, nurture, and guide with heart and wisdom. The balance between deen and dunya is perfectly struck, offering students not only academic excellence but deep-rooted Islamic values that will carry them through life. The environment is safe, encouraging, and spiritually uplifting. The Qur'an and Islamic studies programs are phenomenal, and the character of the students is a true reflection of the school's powerful impact. It's rare to find a place that feels like both a second home and a stepping stone to Jannah--but this school is exactly that. Truly a gem, a blessing, and a dream for any parent or student seeking excellence in both faith and education and even the Arabic language 10/10 would recommend--actually, 1000/10!

But when it came to academics, it felt like it was all about memorizing and repeating, not actually understanding or thinking critically. The teachers are some good and some not so, this situation resonated with me. I was once accused of something I wasn't involved in, and it became a traumatic experience that affected my mental health for a long time. I was interrogated about something I had no knowledge of, pressured to admit to something I didn't even understand, and made to feel guilty for something I didn't do. The emotional toll this took on me was huge. Even after the situation was resolved, a teacher continued to imply that I "deserved" the treatment I received. While I was there, the school environment felt more about fear than safety. There wasn't much room to express problems freely, and the atmosphere was isolating, especially since the class was so small. The academic focus was heavy on memorization, but without much critical thinking or deeper learning. I think that lack of a supportive environment, both academically and emotionally, made things harder than they needed to be. I share this experience not to attack anyone, but because I believe the school needs to reflect on how it handles its students, particularly in moments of conflict or misunderstanding. No student should ever be made to feel like they're guilty without understanding why. It's something that deeply affected me and still sticks with me today. حسبي الله على كل ظالم

I've been the multiple high schools before as I am a military student and as I was PCS from California to Virginia where I am now I was excited because you know big school new friends hallelujah right? Wrong. So getting into the school as a military student, they fucked up my transcript and all my credits so my mother and I had to fight to get my credits transferred from California to Virginia because they've never done this before. Excuse me you are a purple star, School and you've never done this before with the military student. Are you insane? Anyways the only reason there are purple star school is because I spoke at the purple star like speech thing and so you know that's something I did by the way. So I came in second semester of sophomore year, so I finished that my geometry teacher was my favorite teacher of all time at the school no doubt about it. If we're talking the arts program, I personally was a choir kid which is really good and we were able to grab our numbers in the three years from when I joined so that was good. Fast-forward to junior year around mid early October shit started happening. I'm very religious. I am a Jew. I am very proud of my Jewishness, in a very proud of the people that I surround myself with as a Jew. My friend got Nazi salute that on a bus they were small because everywhere I got hate crime. Multiple of my other Jewish friends got hate crimes and my parents had to go up to the school and threaten them to keep me and my friend safe because I did not want to go to school. My mental health got so bad during this time. Period that I had to wake up and tear myself out of my bed because that's how fucking bad the administration of this fucking school did not handle antisemitism or racism because it wasn't just antisemitism because there were multiple people making multiple comments about so many other things that surrounding me my friend group I was pissed junior year flies by I fucking hate crime. I have to have this whole conversation with a girl who said some fuck shit to me in front of my friends I was talking to them and I got fucking pissed right fast-forward to senior year. My friend goes into the boys bathroom and there is still a swastika from the previous school year. there have been multiple swat sightings throughout, said school year and there has been nothing done about it. The only person who really did anything about anything was my parent and Miss Hampton because those are the people who actually looked out for your children and who actually looked out for me in my family so no the school is a fucking piece of shit. The admin are absolutely insane. It won't do anything about anything. Anyways, this school sucks don't go here. I'm so fucking mad at the school.
