Hawaiian Elementary School

Unfortunately, the teachers at Hawaiian Gardens Elementary treat the students as though they are charity cases, take their union paychecks and move along. Many students are from Spanish-speaking households and parents are unaware that their children would be better served by charter schools, instead of union contracts.

It is a school that tries to meet the educational needs of a diverse, low-income population but often meets adversity due to lack of resources

This school is safe and good for my kids. Although the test scores may not show all that this school is, the teachers are real dedicated and hard working. My son really made progress this year. There are so many things to worry about as a single mother, but for now, I am happy that my son is following the rules and staying out of trouble. He made a lot of friends since coming to this school. I am thankful.

This school has always been staffed by hard-working and dedicated teachers. They instruct a student population that is challenging to say the least. Their implementation of the SFA Reading Program has helped students make great strides in reading.

I was a student at this school, when I was only a spanish speaker. Now that I am an adult I am so thankful for the care that I was given here. I am full of memories, from sitting up straight during Mrs. Carters stories to Mrs. Gonzales music. I am so thankful for these angels, thank you.
