DDM Masjid & DDM Academy 733 Lee Street, Des Plaines, IL 60016

"I prayed twice over there and the masjid is very clean mashAllah, the school is not part of the masjid and it is currently closed"

"Do not send your kids to this school. The administrators are unorganized, unprofessional, and dishonest. In April of 2023, I filled out all the paper work to enroll my daughter for the fall. Like a fool, I paid the full tuition up front in order to get a discount. Some time over the summer, the decision was made not to open the school for this year. Although other parents were notified because they were in email groups and text groups from before, nobody told us. So, they cashed my check and took all my money, but failed to communicate with my family about the decision to close the school. Somehow I got in touch with one of the adminstrators. I told him what happened and I asked him for a full refund. They gave me a partial refund back in September, but still have close to $4,000 of my money and refuse to give me any information about when I can get it back. So,my only choice now is trying to go through the Illinois State Attorney General. I don't know what kind of Muslims these are. If I owed somebody that much money, I would move heaven and earth to pay them back in a timely manner. Shame on you."

"I unfortunately sent my daughter to this school for 3 years. And if it weren’t for the amazing teachers I would have never returned. The administration are a complete joke! That building is a HUGE safety hazard and it wasn’t till I took a more active approach in my daughter’s schooling that I finally realized what a liability this place was! Their administration are evil money hungry individuals that take huge short cuts not even caring about the liabilities and hazards they pose on these students! Exposed wires, leaking ceilings, disabled emergency sprinklers, expired fire extinguishers, not to mention the cesspool of FILTH because they think hiring a janitor or cleaning crew is a luxury and not necessary. The administration don’t care about education, religion, or ethics. All they care about is filling their pockets with money. I would rather home school or even send my kid to public school than send them here. It’s a miracle they haven’t had a safety tragedy till now with all of the dangerous safety liabilities they expose these kids to. They also always have the closet in the boys bathroom COMPLETELY OPEN with access to dangerous chemicals and equipment at children’s fingertips. They have cockroaches and mice! Save yourselves this place should be condemned and closed for good!"

"This school is a joke! BEWARE parents! The directors have accusations against them for stealing funds. There's no nurse , no real gym, no real activities for the kids. They make the teachers clean the bathrooms because they can't afford janitors. Dirty bathrooms and classrooms with no supplies or toiletries. The teachers are under paid. The list goes on.. I would rather drive an hour away to take my daughter somewhere else next year. Don't trust this school!"
