OH wow, volcano will be a long drive from nanewale. You might as well try and get him into Hilo if you are doing that. JMO. HE's going to want to get the know the kids in the area also. MIght keep trying for HAAS, but enroll him in the meantime in Pahoa. As from what I can see with my own kids, a lot of what they learn is from their parents anyhow. The kids in Pahoa will prob. be into real practical stuff, like building, working on cars, raising chickens,fishing and hunting. IF your son likes stuff like that, then he'll have no problems. I think he may be able to use the school choice voucher to go to Hilo, but that is a terrifically horrible drive and it would only work if you were working in Hilo and already going back and forth. LEt us know how this all ends up working out. BTW if the kids wear "uniform tshirts" try and get those ahead of time. I got these ordered for my son, and so, on the first day of school noone knew he was a transplant.
