School's awesome, smaller classes means that the teacher gets to see the student individually as a name and not a number. Administration, faculty,staff, AND students treat each other as family.

This school has serious problems - lack of administration commitment and community support. Student moral is low and almost no electives and team sports.

Part of an educational program is the balance of exposure to Sports and Music which also teaches students skills in organization, planning and team work. In this regard, the Wrestling Team and Music Program are a great dimension to the Laupahoehoe School Program.

This school is below all state levels and the structure is poor. The teachers take advantage by hiding behind Hawaiian cultures. The lack of respect for education is like no place else. Do not send your child to Laupahoehoe.
