I would not recommend this school if you want your child to excell. My child was not challanged and did not progress.

I have 2 daughters in this school for the past 3 years & have nothing but wonderful experiences with all but one staff member! I wish we could be classified as Hawaiians instead of Asian in your census! The reason being that majority of the students are Native Hawaiians. Our principal, Kumu Lehua Vincent is one who truly loves and cares for each of his students!
