Waipahu Elementary School

At the school my experience was pretty good. They do not give a whole bunch if homework, also they are very kind. This school would be great for your child. They also provide tutoring to help your child w/ anything or they can work on what they need to work on. Teachers at this school make students feel welcome just like all the other kids.

Honestly the most worst school, ever since my little brother transferred here, he’s been coming home crying every single time. And every time I’d be the teachers or his classmates, almost everyone even the adults at this school is so disrespectful and rude. Not even the principal will help fix this. His teacher, to this day, still bullies my little brother by mocking him, insulting him in the middle of the class, everything!!

Overcrowded with over 700 students. Barely enough room to walk around. Health room is unorganized, speech therapist has an accent, and the teachers do not correct the way students talk to each other. When I asked for more challenging schoolwork for my child, nothing changed. When I requested a different teacher, nothing changed. When we spoke to the principal about our issues, nothing changed. The kids vandalize the park next to the school with explicit words and images regularly and ride e-bikes daily, almost hitting the younger kids. One of the school signs in front of the school had the N word on it with the hard R for months before being removed. Not a school I would recommend to anyone I care about.

5/5 They really inform parents and take the time to include you in your child(ren)s education.

There are some great teachers here and it has a lot of potential but overall there is too much favoritism, bullying, poor communication with parents and poor leadership. Our kids attended this school for several years and we had some good experiences but also some of the worst ones. I do not recommend this school to anyone I speak with. There is a MAJOR disconnect from it and the church. It most definitely does not feel like a ministry of the church which is very sad. Hopefully they get a new principal( it was a woman when we were there) and are able to refocus on providing quality Christian education to students and partnering with parents.
