This is not a good school for kids on the lower side of standards. They do not offer any supportive services if your child is struggling to keep up. My daughter would try coming during recess or after school for help, but the teacher would have appointments to go to or not available. They don't offer any tutoring like other schools do. I asked if she could be in a lower class rather then keep following behind. I was told that they have thousands of kids and they don t have anymore lower classes available. When I asked about the law no child left behind they said that they are in the standards. My opinion is that this is an uncaring school. They only care about meeting the standard and not about the kids being left behind as long as they have enough kids that do meet the standards they don t have to help the kids that don t.

Kaimuki middle school is a place with heart that strengthens the mind, the body and soul. Kaimuki is truly one of the safest schools around. It has a great band teacher and is known to have one of the best bands. We play pieces that are high school level and we get to travel around the world. I believe kaimuki middle school is the best place to send a child there because. They will feel safe and supported. No bullies whatsoever no bad things happen.. And if there would be then we would have the secirity guards to look after us. I love kaimuki middle school. It has a great education and its a safe place to send you child to school

At kaimuki middle school the education is excellent, the teachers are all expirienced and the students are kind. Also, kaimuki has won many awards as a very distinguished school. It is the perfect school, and I, as a student, would highly reccommend it to anyone who is considering going there.
