ADEK rated Elite Private School "Good" in its 2017-2018 inspection, up from "Acceptable" at the previous inspection. The school has been inspected 2 times since 2016-2017.
Latest report analysed so far; the 2017-2018 report has not been reviewed yet.
Elite Private School's overall performance is acceptable. Despite very high staff turnover, leadership has built an improvement culture, raising achievement to at least acceptable across subjects and phases. Arabic and social studies are good, but teaching, assessment, and challenge for more-able students still need development, alongside boys' behaviour and punctuality issues.
