MDQ Academy,

1725 Brentwood Rd, Brentwood, NY 11717, United States

"The only thing that’s good about the school is that it’s private otherwise the staff are very rude and the teachers are not certified, education wise cannot reach up to public school. If you don’t pay tuition on time they won’t let your child go to class. They don’t care about students they only care about money. My daughter had failed day regents in ninth grade they told her last minute in 12 grade."

"Very bad experience after 3 years I have to take my kids out because of sister Olga and principal Atia super rude it’s amazing how come the people who are in charge don’t take action. What happen was my daughter took the money to school for lunch but she didn’t have the exact change so sister Olga told her she can’t get food because she didn’t have the exact change and it’s school policy to bring the exact money for food and for that reason she was denied food unbelievable. Before I talk to the principal I wanted to talk to sister Olga and she told me the same thing without even apologizing that’s when I was really upset and wanted to take the kids out of this place and I wanted to talk to sister Atia she didn’t did much. We went to the office told the principal we are taking the kids out of MDQ and I ask for the refund she said sure she is gonna talk to the board members and that was it she didn’t have nothing to say why you are taking the kids out or say anything encouraging to the kids not a word. I emailed all the board members and I guess they talk to sister Atia and when after few weeks we went to get the refund check so we found out sister Atia have change her story she said to us she thought we was leaving NY so for that reason she didn’t say anything which is even more crazy if she thought we was going out of NY state she should’ve said something to the kids but I guess that’s what she told the board members. I think she is relative of some of the board members because it’s amazing after all the bad reviews she is still there. And many issues with the teachers. I’m not happy to take this action but didn’t want my kids to go through all this even we are paying and it’s Islamic school where we are teaching Islamic studies and the people who are running the school are not acting like muslims. Now they are asking all the staff to put in the good reviews it’s unbelievable where these (Muslims)are going it’s all about the money nothing Islamic in this school. I hope they have option of zero stars because the principal and some of the staff don’t deserve even one star."

"It's funny how all the good reviews are coming from the staff. This school is complete garbage especially for high school they provide no proper help to the kids who need it. Also the new principle has no idea what she is doing 100% unprofessional and doing an absolute abomination of a job."

"MDQ Academy is a blessing to our community and our children. The school administration, staff, and volunteers work selflessly and diligently to provide the best that they can for our future generation. The principal’s open for policy makes it easy for parents, staff, and students to communicate with her, Alhamdulillah for her and the school. All of the negative reviews are fake and not true at all, I’m speaking and writing from experience."

"This school used to be a better place with the old principal. It barely has what it means to be an “islamic“ school. Most of the teachers are not properly certified to even be teachers. Education here is terrible. Even students with good grades are going around complaining about the teachers and the principal, Attia Pasha. Many parents send their children here hoping their children can learn in an Islamic environment. Hopefully this school can become a better place in the future."
