Posted by a community member on 7/23/2015My daughter just started 1st grade this year 2014-2015. She has been bringing homework that is for Kindergarten.

Posted by a parent on 8/18/2014My son enrolled in 2009 as a 1st grader. He was newly adopted and spoke only a few words of english. He had a difficult transition.

This school has a Vice Principal who does not care about the students that attend. Students that are under section 504 are not being seen on a weekly basis as intended. This school is one of the worst schools on the island!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAloha kakou I'm born and raised here in Keaukaha. I attended from K-6th grade. Our oldest son attended for 3 years. our 2nd son attended for a year before moving away. We have recently moved back home to Keaukaha. Being away for 5 years we was nervous about the transition for the children. Let me say that the first day the children started school was a walk through the park. They were Happy, Comfortable, Relaxed and feeling Welcomed. we have a child that is autistic he must have felt the "MANA" that 1st day. His Teacher invited him into the class room and with NO hesitation he walked right in. Tears of joy came running down my face. Thank You Keaukaha Ohana, Community,Parents,Teachers and Administration.
