My son is a very proud student of this school. The things he liked about it was the small class size and help and encouragement he got from teachers and staff. He enjoyed going to Camp Erdman on one of his excursions which is his most memorable moment. The things I like about this school is you don't

Where as other schools have multi tracks and you can't take a vacation because their on vacation half of the time due to the rotation of the track schedule. I like the fact that this is a small school and the staff is very friendly, I have no regrets about this school. Parents, it's up to you to find different ways of encouraging child and keeping them interested. Read less

The NCLB laws have made all public schools cut back on imaginative and creative areas due to the concentration on the core subjects. Barbers Point Elementary students, however, have had art entries in art contests, participate in Artists in the School program every year, have continued with their traditional
... Read more Art Day every year for students in grades K-2 and finally have organized and executed a beautiful May Day performance where every grade level participates including pre-school! The only other thing they could do better is provide a talented and gifted program that is separate from the classroom and have a full time technology teacher. Granted, it is not in the most desirable area and air conditioning is badly needed but I am a fan of the school and its staff. Read less

Barber's Point is the only accredited elementary school on the island. Their staff is phenomenal and they go the extra mile to make the school a better one. They have many inter-grade meetings to ensure that each grade level is ready to move forward. The lack of parental involvement in a child's education

Barber's Point educates all classes and all races effectively. The school is the home to the NASA Challenger Center as well as a nice grassy playground and play area.

I am more than pleased that my daughter is a Barbers Pt Jet! She had previously attended elementary schools in Monterey, Ca., and in Whitmore village in Wahiawa, HI. We moved (on our own expenses) to the Kapolei are just so our daughter could receive a better education. Millilani schools are great;

I called the school months ago to see the school. Never returned my call. I got in touch with them finally, they said I could come today for 15min. To many students to teacher. I felt like I was a student and not an adult while speaken to the teacher. I called back after my visit and inquired about seeing

I thought this is a public school. My final word is if you care about your childs education don't send them there. Very unprofessional from the secretary to the teacher. Glad to see our tax dollars being spent wisely. Read less
