MDD7000,
Probably because kids have a pretty sophisticated coconut wireless going and as a result teenagers can tell you a lot about what is going on in most of the schools in their area. Many kids have friends at all the schools and so know what is going on there. I do know that at the end of last year fights at Pahoa were being posted on youtube regularly and they showed security standing around watching. I have some pretty tough students who have said they wouldn't feel safe there and they are local boys. They just don't want to risk being mobbed. On the other hand, a good friend of mine's blond blue eyed daughter graduated top of her class at Pahoa a few years ago and now has a free ride scholarship to a good west coast school. She did grow up here though.
