Kula Elementary greatly exceeds the expectations for a public school. The new principal is excellent- he is involved with the community of the school and is a great cohesive factor between parents, students, & teachers. His presence at the school has been noticeably beneficial to all. The teachers are also invested in their students. Every one of them goes far above & beyond to give the children a quality education, and work as an excellent team. The office staff is friendly & helpful & are familiar with each child. Cafeteria workers are dedicated & provide well rounded lunches that include fresh fruits &whole grains. Kula school has a PCNC who coordinates many fun activities outside of the school day such as Family movie night, Pumpkin carving at Halloween, and Christmas Craft Evening. Parent involvement is very high. The PTA is very active and coordinates funds to support extra-curricular teachers that are not solely paid for by the DOE. Currently they support the PE program through their fundraising. Ideally they support an art program as well. Improvement-wise I see only one major area in which the school would benefit-the addition of a full time school counselor.
