Which school complex is best and why?

As an example of what csgray said, a friend of mine with hapa Hawaiian kids who look 100% Hawaiian would not let her teenage son go to a music event in Hilo simply because as a Kona boy he would get beaten up. She said if you can hook up with your Hilo friends to protect you, you can go.

So beyond ethnicity differences, even what we perceive as communities that are not that different will have territorial issues. Imagine how it is to be from the mainland if a kid from Hilo would fight another kid just for being from Kona.

Before Kamehameha conquered and united the islands by force, different islands and districts were at constant war with each other, and it hasn't entirely changed from that mentality as far as I can tell.
