i waited to move to hawaii until my son had graduated. i did not want to subject him to hawaii's public school system. i had friends who raised their children here and it was tough. they homeschooled for years, and then let them go to HS the last couple. from what they told me there was racism(them being haole). i know that the haole kids tended to hang out together, i'm not saying all the "local" kids hasseled them, but from what they said it was tough. anyway i know 4 different teachers all whom teach at charter schools which they tell me is the way to go. this is just meant as a "heads" up. as long as the kids are prepared, i think it will work out. good luck.
