I've taught in lots of schools but this one is the best. No political games. As someone else said, it is like a family. The teachers have their priorities straight and the principal gives everyone a fair hearing - doesn't mean you get what you want - which might explain some complaints.

My child is in her/his second year of pre-school at OSLS and loves it. The teachers we have had have been great and the curriculum is age appropriate and challenging.

My children have attended the lower grades and we have been very happy with the curriculum and environment. Regarding the 2nd grade, my son did not have any difficulty and usually finished his homework at school during school hours. 1-2 worksheets and 20 minutes of reading a night seems reasonable

Our family has been pleased with the academics of this school but I am highly disappointed in the administration (principal). We have been pleased with the lower elementary teachers but that is in part to their own strengths not any leadership they receive from the principal. Second grade can be a

We have been extremely disappointed in many aspects of this school. The principal is aloof and disconnected and parents with complaints or concerns are told they 'are free to look elsewhere' instead of actually attempting to address the issues. The upper grades are the worst off, with very limited
... Read more equipment and resources and new teachers each of the last three years in the middle school. The curriulum is challenging, but very rigid, with lots of seat work. This school appears to enforce conformity and passivity above all else. Second Graders were expected to eat their lunches at their desks in complete silence, and the playground is so small that kids are punished for running during recess time. If you are new to Hawaii and considering this school, make sure to meet Mr. Evensen, the principal, take a tour, and ask a lot of questions. Read less

I am proud to call this school my former school. The academics and athletics are great, the teachers and administrators are the best I have encountered, and because of the small class size you really get to know your fellow students. This school set me up for future success.

I have been disappointed in many aspects of this school. While the academics are rigorous and challenging, there is a real imbalance in the quality of teachers at the various grades. There is a lot of homework, much of it 'busy work' and very little creativity. The principal is not a strong leader
