Kahului Elementary School

My 6 yr. son hated it so much he wouldn't stop crying for weeks! It very strict! I stood with him a few times cause he hated it so much! The teacher yells so much my son was scared to raise his hand when he had a question about the work cause she was going to get mad! Then after lunch 3 class's of 1 st. Grades have to wait in line to get dismissed to be able to go to recess. If even 1 talks or gets out of the line None of them get recess instead the sit in the sun on the floor waiting to go back to class! I seen it with my own eyes when I talk to the princeable he said all my teacher or strict and that's how our school is! I moved after a year the first day at the new school he came come and said Mom I didn't have to get dismissed after lunch I got to run to the play ground! He loves the new school. It's so sad the kids don't get rescss it helps them focus in class.

Niece is currently being bullied here, sent home for a male classmate kicking her in the private. The child and his parents haven’t been contacted and my niece continues to be bullied by this temperamental child. Her uniforms covered in markings due to his behavior. Teachers stating how temperamental her bully could be and still not taking proper action. Frustrating situation to be in.

I am beyond pleased with the education my kids are receiving from this school. They entered well behind after having a challenging year, and they have learned so much and improved so much. All the staff is very caring. I recommend this school without hesitation

The rating given on the website is in no way reflective of the quality of education at pu’u kukui, a multi-award winning school that is consistently ranked as one of the highest performing public schools in the state.
