It is interesting to note that only 42% of Al-Hadi students live within a 10 miles’ radius. 58% of the student body live outside the 10 miles’ radius. Out of those 10% drive more than 20 miles to attend the school.

30% of the student body come from low middle class homes. 59% come from middle/upper middle class and 11% come from affluent homes.

The population is made up of mostly first generation Americans with parents who come from different parts of the world to settle in the United States. The majority of our parents are bilingual. Most of the parents have received formal education and possess a Bachelors or Master degree. Some have professional degrees in law, dentistry or medicine. A few own their own businesses. All parents are very involved in their children’s education and in the community.
