Iman Academy - Southwest Campus Reviews

15 reviews

I have spent over 9 years at this school, it has slowly gotten worse but the immense potential to be great is still there. Its strong points is in its community and the friends you make there, however its weak points is in the administrations lack of not only foundation but communication with both students and teachers.

This is a great school to send your kids to. Not only is it very informative on the religion It’s also great academic wise. The teachers and admin are all very helpful and understanding. I’ve been here since freshman year and now a current senior and my experience in this school has been overall amazing and I highly recommend coming here.

Muslim does not celebrate BIRTHDAY!!!
Please be very careful what they are teaching your kids. Uneducated people and my kids learned MUSLIM does not celebrate Birthday and whole family and relatives we do celebrate Birthday you CANNOT teach this to kids...

Review Iman Academy - Southwest Campus

Iman Academy Southwest is a good private Islamic School. Its education and curriculums are extremely advanced and high. they do a very good job of preparing their high school students for college and the work life. The school offers many AP courses as well as dual enrollment. Their campus is really beautiful and very secure for the students. They have many great programs and after school clubs and activates that are educating and also amusing They are well staffed with more than capable teachers that go above and beyond for their students. they are truly an outstanding school that I am more than proud to say I attend.

Better Counseling and resources for sports, extracurricular activities, etc. There is little to no selection of teachers, but their dual credit program has been very open and affordable. They are making cuts to the program, but for the time being it is here to stay. Clubs and sports are nonexistent. The counselor is terrible. Little academic, emotional, or social support, There is no school nurse.

The administration (high school specifically) is terrible. I have horror stories! Stay away from 'the three' (you know who) they act like they own the school.

Most teachers can't teach. There is NO science education at all. The high school science teacher barely taught us anything.

Some teachers just read powerpoints.

The islamic studies curriculum is the same, throughout middle and high!!! The teacher made us watch videos and never did his own teaching

A lot of teachers wont teach you anything and are so organized. The only people who will teach you something are the arabic, math, middle school science, and social studies teachers

There are no extracurriculars and don't even bother starting any, the administration will drive you crazy.

Iman Academy is one of the better Islamic schools in Houston. The teachers and staff are very nice and are like family. A great Islamic environment for children and goes from daycare to highschool.

I've been here for 11 years. Not once did I witness bullying, and not once have I been a victim of bullying at this school. Diverse student body, and parents are always involved. Good conduct and manners are always emphasized by the administration. Dual Credit and AP classes are offered as well. College counselors are extremely helpful. Five stars!!!

the culture is very good there. very open to new types of people but mostly a school for people who are Muslim.i was raised in that school. I learned them since I was in daycare and I plan to graduate from iman academy. the only thing I regret is that I didn't get to experience the true high school life .the school doesn't really get you ready for the real life it shelters you from all the bad things that are bound to appear when you leave the school. besides that the only other thing is their sports system .it very terrible if you plan on pursuing an athletic career this is not the school to go to .the physical education isn't really amazing either all we do is go outside and do want to do the pe teacher just leaves and he no where to be sean till the rnd of the period

They're are good teachers there.

I believe this school is completely different than other schools firstly because of the diversity. People all over the world come to this school so meeting and seeing different cultures is amazing. This school is small so we have a personal connection with our teachers. Everyone knows everyone, which I think is awesome. The school is basically like a huge family. Now one thing is that people who come to this school must learn to depend on themselves. We have lots of online classes that require the student to self-study. Of course, we can ask teachers and they teach us (obviously). I feel this school has taught me to be ready for college socially, as well as educationally.

The school offers spanish and french. It also includes religious studies as extracurriculars in our daily schedule.

The School's nurse has all the medicines and treatments that anyone could need when injured or feeling unwell.

Everyone is usually kind but there are times when administration looks down on students, especially those in 11th and 12th grade, talking to them as if they are little kids who don't know anything. The school is very unorganized.

Acceptance in the school is, perhaps, not a problem at Iman Academy Southwest, mainly because of its diversity. That said, though, one could observe occasional minor bullying from some troublesome students. In order to halt these types of incidents, the school organizes activities aimed at encouraging students to report any bullying scenes. Peer pressure could be rampant with Iman Academy's students, which is normal with any high school; however, these minor issues cannot dictate its profound capability of providing a warm second home to students of any ethnicity, personality, or gender.
