History

The school system was founded in 1980,^[6] and named the Clara Mohammed School. In 1989 the high school component was renamed after Warith Deen Mohammed.^[4]

In the 1990s the school announced that it would do an overhaul.^[5] Ground was broken for a new gymnasium in 1998.^[7] The renovation was scheduled as a six-month project, but completion took longer due to fluctuations in donations and volunteers. The renovation, which overhauled classrooms, the gymnasium, and science laboratories, was completed in 2001.^[3]

As of 2007, Mohammed Schools has no special education teachers.^[8]
