No air conditioning inside the majority of rooms, and just about everywhere is dirty.

Lokelani inter is not a safe school at all. I went here and there was a lot of smoking, vaping, drugs and alcohol usage. I remember seeing many students vape and get away with it, I believe this is a reflection on the lack of care for the students. One time, this one student got very drunk in the bathroom and had to be assisted, what kind of school lets these horrific things happen to MIDDLE SCHOOLERS mind you. Lokelani had a high amount of unqualified immigrant teachers who told us to search up answers. There is a reason why lokelani is so infamous, bullying is also a big problem. I believe students so young shouldn’t face this and don’t get me started on racism. Racism in this school was so common to a point slurs don’t even matter or how the school lacks basic history education. Lokelani has some actually good qualified teachers but most of them have no idea what to do. I had a science teacher that was ignorant and she wasn’t even qualified to teach science, she’s a math teacher. Honestly, the lack of teachers is really bad in this school and substitutes mostly dread teaching here. The budget for this school is very low, most of the money goes to STEM which is great but other classes and extra curricular activities could use some money for example, the band. Lokelani has one of the worst or maybe the worst music program on the island, instruments are crippling, lack of interest and lack of care. Lokelani’s band program was at its worst 2 years ago where students would come in and wreak havoc just because we had a “chill” sub. The band room is also in critical condition where instruments aren’t being cared for properly and old equipment. I once had a cockroach crawl out of my instrument. Parents, I recommend you send your child to any other school. Lokelani intermediate is not a safe school or a good one for the most part since it has old outdated equipment, nasty classrooms and horrible teachers.

This school is great, clean, close by.

As a parent whose child attended Kamali‘i Elementary from kindergarten all the way through fifth grade, I can wholeheartedly say it’s the best school on the island. Our experience over these years has been nothing short of wonderful.From the very first day, the staff and teachers have shown incredible dedication and warmth. They foster not just academic growth, but also a sense of community and kindness that has made a real difference in our child’s life.If you’re looking for a place where your child will be both challenged and supported, I couldn’t recommend Kamali‘i Elementary more highly. It’s truly a gem in our community.
