I love this school because the teachers are nice and helpful and they teach me a lot

My daughter attends 8th grade and we are very happy with the education and opportunities that are available. There is the opportunity for advanced classes and to participate in state/national programs (writing, history, art, etc.) The Principal is very accessible and well-respected by students, teachers and parents. The facilities are adequate -- it would be nice if Hawaii spent more money at the local level of facilities and teachers. There are many opportunities for parents to be involved which are communicated by a monthly newsletter and posters at the school -- a parent can be involved as much as they want to be.

The academic awards are not held very well. There aren't any school teams to play in, the parents are left in the dark about everything, along with many students. The staff is not good, save a few teachers. Disciplinary action is not dealt with well. The facilities are filthy, and only some rooms have air conditioning so it is extremely hot. This is a truely horrible school, and I would never send a child a care about here.
