My son transferred from the mainland to Hookena last year and we didn't know what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised by the Aloha that was shown to us from the ENTIRE STAFF. The staff went above and beyond helping him academically to ensure his success. Big Mahalos!

I love Hookena! I have sent my kids to many other schools in the islands and on the mainland. You will never find a more dedicated staff. The class sizes are small. Education is priority. The teachers care about the kids like their own children. It's a positive place for kids to learn and grow. I am

As the President of the PTO, I am speaking on my own behalf and of my family; and not on behalf of my organization, school or any other person.

Unfortunately, new principal and the two student teachers this year have created a atmosphere of reward and punishment. Students focus on what color discipline card they may receive for the day. Academic rigor is lacking and classroom management. School is disorganized an unclean. No community involvement or fund raising acvtivies. Field trips and camping week do not exist under Mr. brown's direction. Parents are discouraged by principle to volunteer. Sadly an accepting Christian school doesn't exists like the previous years. KSA may want to reconsider revisiting the school's focus of commitment to help find solutions as well as keeping promises. --- "Our staff is here to help you find solutions for all of your needs as you prepare to attend our school. Although we know that it is a great deal of work to apply to a school we promise it will all be worth the effort. We will be here every step of the way to assist you and make the process as easy as possible. We look forward to helping you very soon."
