7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWaiakea High School touts itself on being academically driven and a great place to learn. Personally, I feel that it's anything but that. With the larger class sizes and limited amount of resources available, there are one too many children that fall in between the cracks. Aside from that, the amount of violence and fights that break out in this school is astounding. As a parent of multiple children who have attended and who are attending this school - I would highly recommend seeking a better environment for your child(ren) to learn.Parent Review6mo ago - Waiakea Intermediate School
