17 students arrested fighting/Keaau HS

Any thoughts on why Keaau High School has so many fights?

I was wondering is this just a bad bunch of kids or is it really a dangerous school.

This has been going on for years, and it seems to only be remarkable if Keaau High goes any appreciable length of time without a major outbreak of violence. In past episodes the principal has made excuses without really dealing with the problem, and in one infamous case, the security staff had all been sent home for still undisclosed personnel issues. The place is a mess, and the DOE structure (i.e. lack of local school boards) is almost guaranteed to see that nothing really changes administratively.
