Ahuimanu

My daughter has attended He'eia elementary for her entire academic career and I'm so grateful and happy that our family has been supported by this school. They take time to build pilina and care for the students so that all the learning and friendships support the he could desire to come to school and do their best. There are plenty fun community events each year as well and our daughter has benefited from Hawaiian cultural learning embedded into all aspects of the school.

Parent engagement activities all through the year. Teachers and staff make you feel welcome from the minute you step on campus. Its like a big 'ohana there, and its like coming home. Great campus, and their May Day program is unbelievable!!

Most excellent school with lots of parental involvement. The teachers are wonderful and commuted to the students. One of their teachers was the the State Teacher of the year 2016. Also, their counselor was State Counselor of the year! Great teaching staff and great environment.

I dont really leave a review but this time i will..Heard that they bully my daughter and Ms. Lisa a+ teacher called me right away. I called school and they take care rthis issue..i know its funny when the teacher told me its misunderstanding and not bully.but i will not argue as long as they fix the problem then i am good.Teacher was very helpful, friendly and they take care their students.

Ahuimanu was rated well on Zillow 7/10. Two of my kids attended this school (1 in Kinder and the other in the 2nd grade). My 2nd grader had an awful experience and struggled because he could not understand his teacher. (1) His teacher spoke and wrote in "pigeon", a form of broken English spoken on the islands and, (2) maintained poor control of her classroom. My wife and I requested a change to another class via the Principal. The Principal denied the request stating that "if they allowed one family to switch classes then other families will want to switch". This reponse diminished my trust in their ability to provide an adequate education to my children. As a result, I removed both of my kids and placed them in a private school (Christian Academy). Now my son (the 2nd grader) is in the 4th grade and is in the top of his class this year and the last with a much stronger curriculum. My other child is thriving as well.

My daughters attended kindergarten and 3rd grade here and I thought they did an excellent job! The student to teacher ratio is great and it has tremendously helped my girls academic and spiritual growth! Such a great decision!
