Looks like the school could use MORE PARENT VOLUNTEERS... Stop complaining Moms/Dads-- and support your kids by being more involved in establishing positive solutions than griping

When a counselor made an inappropriate conversation with my daughter the school lashed out at my family and tried to have me arrested. Instead of addressing the issue. Needless to say, they cannot handle criticism. I was never arrested and reported the incident to the Board of Education. hey did however cause my daughter to endure three days of foster care because of this. It was a traumatic experience for her.

Administration and staff practices self preservation versus what is good for the students. Conflicting programs allow students to constantly miss core classes and fail while pursuing theater!!??

a good portion of teachers are laid back and dont expect much from their students. The idea of a 'challenging' invironment is not introduced until A.P classes or Senior year when students struggle with an unexpected load

Security at this school is lax and does not promote an environment of dicipline.

About the tests

In 2009-2010 Hawaii used the Hawaii State Assessment (HSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math. The HSA is a standards-based test that measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Hawaii. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
