Inspectors rated the school acceptable overall. Students make good progress in Islamic Education, Arabic and English in KG, and science in Cycle 2, but mathematics reasoning and critical thinking remain weak. Teaching often relies on direct instruction, and leaders need more accurate self-evaluation, stronger middle leadership, and better facilities and resources.
