School Reviews
5 7/29/2023
I graduated from Al-Ghazaly in 2000s and overall it was a great experience. I am close with all my friends from my class and it prepared me for college and medical school. Most importantly it kept me close to my deen and solidified my identity. As I prepare to look for an islamic school for my kids in the next few years, Al-Hikmah and Al-Ghazaly will be atop my list. I hope they can expand their sports but otherwise they are as good an Islamic school as you will find in NJ.
Endorse Al-Ghazaly Junior/Senior High School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
