Personally, I feel that this school is great. There are many events hosted so students can connect with the faculty and parents. The staff are nice and know how to enforce safety within the school. My child has only been here for one year and I am enjoying my time here in Hawaii. The teachers keep i
Posted by a parent on 2/7/2024This school is absolutely irresponsible with your children. They have lost kids who are in carpool not once but 3 times in the past two years! This is a small school on an army base. The principal could care less and does nothing to rectify the problem and make sure your kids are safeHelpful 0 Thank
Posted by a community member on 1/24/2024I wish I could give this school less than one star.I went to pick my boys up from school, and only my first grader got in the car. The teachers and faculty said Mmy kindergartener had been in class, but did not know where he was. Long story short, my KINDERGARTENER was somehow allowed to walk off ca
Posted by a parent on 1/24/2024This school is horrible. Since covid the quality of teaching and teachers has gone down hill. My son now has severe fluency delays because of the mask policy that was in place. They made him do speech therapy on zoom at the school with a mask on. The teacher during the school being shut down held ba
Posted by a parent on 2/5/2022April 18th is "Purple Up! For Military Kids” and Shafter Elementary's enrollment is nearly 95% military kids. Yet principal higa will not allow them to wear purple on this day instead of the blue, yellow or black school t- shirts (uniforms). This shows her continued disregard for the community that

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMoanalua has decent academics and the teachers try to teach the best programs however, the VP and the Principal are undeniably the worst thing that has ever happened to this school! This used to be one of the better public schools but in recent years this school is just really lacking. Our teacher always has tried to help when our child was bullied and bashed in the head with visible bruising and scarring. The teacher was very concerned the 4 times that this has happened. The principal never addressed the problem the 9 times I complained and she had a 2 minute talk with the other student. She also kept saying she was out on "vacation".Parent Review7y ago - Kalihi Kai Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDespite being a big school with over 500 students, the staff are very much involved with each individual. Communication between teacher and parent is excellent. From K-5, they emphasize the need to take care of themselves and others. Incentives are given as a means of positive discipline. Not much parent involvement in the school, being that most parents work several jobs. However, the staff work extra hard to ensure that the students are up to par and enjoy learning. I was worried at first when my child transferred to the school in second grade. However, the Principal, VP and counselor made that extra effort to make it an easy adjustment.Parent Review12y ago - Kalihi Waena Elementary School
