I want to encourage you not to worry too much about the negative stuff you read! I brought an incoming 7th grader here and he adjusted just fine. He says there is less bullying here than in the "good school district" in Texas that he transferred from. I dont have opinions about the charter schools, since all my kids go to public schools, but not in Pahoa. We live in Hilo. Dayna's daughter is doing great in Keaau HS also. Pahoa is a bit rougher, but if you come from the country, where you hunt, and fish, then I dont think the transition will be that difficult. The thick accent down in Pahoa will take your son a bit of time to get used to, but it's all relative. Kids are so adaptable. GL! Where are you moving from?
