I have two children at this school. One began in Kindergarten and is now in the 5th grade. Sending my children to this school on a GE was the best decision ever for their crucial elementary years. The teachers have not only provided a solid foundation, but sustain good communication with the parents.

The school provides programs to balance the academic goals of our former president with the 'No Child Left Behind' act as well as what they coin as 'Value Added Programs'. Especially through these hard economic times and furloughs - the school was quick to respond with options to address our kids. Thank you PHKai! Read less

We have had our kids at PHK for about 2 months. My son is autistic, and I have to say they have been really good about finding what environments work best for him, and truly seem like they 'like' him, and enjoy him being in class, even if he is a challenge. I am not thrilled at the recent choice

We've been at PHK for 4 years now as GE's. This is THE elementary school in the area to send your kids to. They are a National Blue Ribbon school, Hawaii Distinguished School and accreditted by WASC, something MOST of the other elementaries in the state can't stay. The principal is very invovled and

Extrememly dissapointed in this school. They are so worried about meeting the state standards that they have lost sight of the children. Unprofessional teachers, out of control volunteer system, and low budget gets them poor rating from this parent.

The teachers are focused on the students and their success. when my son needed extra attention the school stepped in and together we made a plan.

Our PTO is also wonderful! They have raised over 10,000.00 dollars this year and are always availale to help out. I think that this will be our favorite school forever! Read less

This used to be a great school. However, the current principal has run it into the ground. I would like to know how people (PTO especially) who don't have college degrees can be hired to sub. How can a PCNC and parent volunteers without food service certification cut up fruits in the school kitchen

The teachers and support services (especially Speech) are wonderful. It's just that the administration is more interested in spending $16,000 on office furniture than much needed curriculum.

My child graduated in 2008, and I will be forever grateful to the 6th grade teachers. The rest of the school has serious challenges ahead, because the poor leadership trickles down to create a poor atmosphere. All parents are good for is fundraising, there is no transparency however as to what the
