The primary data were taken from participants^ responses representing Islamic Senior High School population in West Java, both public and privates. The result revealed that science science e-learning had been implemented in the Islamic Senior High School in West Java. However, the availability of science e-learning facilities, the mastery of the science e-learning facilities, and the science e-learning process in the public schools were better than the private ones. Generally, students in both types of Islamic schools stated science e-learning was not more interesting than normal learning.
