I'd like to know from the people who have posted here on this thread what your stake is in all of this bruhaha. Is your home near one of the campuses in HPP? Or are you tied to the other charter school in the park...you know, the other one that cost money to attend?....

Before putting my son in WOL, he attended Kea'au Elementary School. Kea'au Elementary School is by far the worse school anyone in my family has ever attended in the 50th state! To go from the best school in the state(Liholiho Elementary School) to the worst (Kea'au Elementary School) was quite a wake up call! I was feeling extremely guilty over it too. It was the direct result of me moving my family from Oahu to Puna...then comes along WOL!!! I'm given another chance to get the situation right for my son[s],and I take full advantage of it too. Sure, there are problems within the walls of WOL, but don't all school come with growing pains?

My own thoughts is that I have a child that will soon be entering elementary school in PUNA possibly. I'd like to know as much about all of them as possible.

Beachboy - You may want to check your stats again.

Liholiho is ranked 71st and Keaau 132nd.

Neither of them at the top... or the bottom. [Wink]



actually "D", when my son attended Liholiho three years ago(2004). It was one of only two "Blue Ribbon" schools in all of Hawaii, Momilani School being the other. What made Liholiho so awesome was two thirds of the school lived below poverty level. But this small school in Kaimuki had a very strong family kinda bond between students & parents & entire school...that even includes maintence workers too! Also, because of this family enviornment. Close to 50% of the student body are from out of district too!
