This school's overall performance was judged weak. Students show positive attitudes and relationships, and make acceptable progress in Arabic and Islamic education in earlier grades, but attainment and progress are weak or very weak in English, science, mathematics, and other subjects. Teaching, curriculum, care and support, and leadership are all weak, with insufficient governance oversight and inaccurate self-evaluation.
