Well, Ive Been to 2 intermediate schools here on maui and all I have to say about this school is acedemic wise this is a really good school and it challenges students to study and get good grades. But, as for how the students behaviors is very poor. Its almost the end the year as im in 7th grade and by this school year there has been 15+ fights. though the principal has threatened to take away our recess, people still argue and dont really care. we even have had an attemped assualt this year and they still haven't found the guy.

i think this is a really good school in activities and education ways.. even when its in the begining of the year the teachers set there goals before school starts and there activities to get names is great they are all good teachers they can make jokes that we like so i would i give a plus on everything .. also the schools dress code is great cause teenage kids like to were logos on there clothing not a plain t-shirt that has to be tuked in! Also its good because you can get closer to teenagers that way cause they will know you can trust them. The most thing i like is that you guys have a special group for self-esteem and i really liked that... by the way i know this because i went there for 2 years but i left in the 7 grade but i loved it.
