To my information she calls boys puppydogs because of their energy, she has obvious favoritism, and she is very sexist towards males for no reason she has the mental compacity of a child and locks her students out her room when they slightly do something wrong. She doesn't even teach but makes her students read a book and watch a video to write Cornell notes, and when the wind is strong and the door blows open when someone opens it cause its stronger than a 300 ton truck coming at you, another teacher in specifics outs you in-front of the whole period shaming you and excluding you from activities because they never finish their work. One of the few male teachers at highlands makes their clubs students do improv. work last minute and gets mad at them when they do it last minute, another teacher had blatant favoritism, saying that an assignment was easy and shaming that they didn't finish it in a time period she thought was enough, she growls at the students time to time as-well. Never sending another child here again !!

Organizer planned the event well with a map of where vendors going to be in front of classrooms. They sent out emails and promoted vendors via Instagram. On day of event, hours are from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. There was DJ who played kpop music and had at video of kpop groups. Beside kpop vendors, there were vendors inside the cafeteria and food truck vendors on the grassy in front of the school. There were alot of people who came from town and other parts of the island to support their friends who were vendors. This was a great event and hope that the organizer will plan to have this event again next year.

I wanted to give myself a couple years to reflect before leaving a review, that way I could iron…read moreout my own thoughts and speak outside of emotion. That being said, this school was awful for military kids. If you're a military family considering this place, please reconsider. There was a such a huge implicit bias against non-Hawaiian kids, ESPECIALLY if they were military. Due to being military, we've been to quite a few catholic schools, this was hands down the worst. As someone from the Midwest hearing about the Ohana and kindness in the reviews, we were so excited, but were ultimately let down. The admin was inexperienced, the curriculum was inconsistent, and it honestly felt like grade school daycares with little taught outside of very basic English and math. I cannot discourage military families enough, they honestly hate military families. This is a catholic school in the absolute loosest of term. 10/10 would not recommend sending any child you care about to this school.

1/11/23 review for PHCA (Pearl Harbor Christian Academy)…read more My son had 2 times of incidents that his classmate was hiding class I-Pad. My son reported to HR teacher. At that time no intervention. Today is 2nd time it happened again. why??? It is very stressful to knowing what is going on. I had to send him back to class and looked for every desk and every where.. my son found someone's bag. This is very very disappointing. Why school do not have any intervention to teach. I emailed to HR teach and I am kind of waiting to hear their reaction and what is intervention. Is this really pray to GOD every day? Should I think about getting worse or better? I am putting message only one of staff can read and do better work for kids. I will continue to update with school's and HR teacher's intervention. Rating can be change to 5 or stay 1

The leadership at this school is trash. Almost every week my kids came home telling me about a…read morefight at school between the kids and staff. When picking up my kids I would see kids fighting at the park next to the school almost every month! No security guards, teachers, nothing to stop it and when I called the school they said they would send security up they didn't. Even parents just sitting in their cars watching! Apparently because it's off campus they can't do anything, well even your presence would deter kids from fighting! My kids would come home of stories of kids doing drugs, smoking, and having sex in bathrooms. Where the hell is leadership?! The leadership here is weak and that's why the kids don't respect the rules or the school, and do what they want to. The principal is terrible he denied our GE because that's his "default" policy to deny everyone and put them on a waitlist and wanted to kick our kids out with only 3 months left of school! When we challenged that decision he reluctantly allowed them to stay till the end of the school year, but not before contacting my other son's elementary school up the road to let them know of the address change. (Pretty sure sharing other people's information like that is illegal, but whatever). What's sad is this school has so much potential to be a really good school. They have so much to offer kids in terms of extra curricular activities, but their leadership is so bad! Why even have like 7 VP's?! They should all be replaced. They are doing the kids a disservice with their lack of support and enforcement.

This is not for the waipahu campus but for the Ewa Beach (Elementary campus)…read more It's our son's first year with HTA as a kindergartner and we are at the end of the year so we definitely experience the whole school year with HTA. I want to start off with how happy we are that our son attends HTA. It was a great choice and big win. We have older children who go to multiple schools and HTA by far has won us over. The atmosphere and the attention that our son received in school is by far the greatest. The one on one with the student and teacher ratio works out great our kindergartener has excelled in so many ways. He's about to move on to first grade and he already can read books and tell time not only digital time but the wall clock which I remember only learning in the 3rd grade back in the day. He is also able to identify the currency (worth of each coin and what each coin is called) We do noticed a BIG difference in our son's confidence level and not being afraid to speak up and present his animal research to his fellow classmates. The teachers and staff are all so supportive and they are always so kind. They know every child just about by name which is great because they can identify each child's presence which is valuable and also for safety reasons. They also address any concerns or issues right away with the child and parents/ guardians. HTA has great staff who is able to provide support to the children and parents/ guardians. We are thankful that we are able to join our son on his class Field Studies. It is a true blessing to be able to have this experience to be able to understand what our child is learning on a daily basis. They have weekly agendas which keeps us organized and on schedule. We hope you enjoyed our first year experience review with HTA. Having a kind and supportive team makes a GREAT difference! So be nice to the staff members they deserve the Best!!

My nefew was bullied for his lunch and couldn't eat that day, the next day or two the same kid who is much bigger than him pushed him down and when mom called the school they just flagged her off. He was staying home for a couple of days out of fear and when I grew up this type of topic was handled in a timely fashion and not go on until something else worse happens. I thought schools here was better at handling this type of situation which is a very serious topic.

I appreciate how they speak Hawaiian every day in their morning protocol. All the Kumu give a 110%. The principal, Amanda Fung, truly cares about the students and is easy to reach and communicate with. They have after school clubs and my kids have learned how to knit, sew and dance hula. We also love the community events they have like the trunk or treat and spring carnival. We invite our neighbors and family friends to join in on the fun. They also have a great broadcast club where the keiki work with Olelo. I'm very thankful to have this charter school, the only one in central O'ahu, so close to my home. I have four kids and hope my other two can attend when they are in elementary school.

Kamalani has the feel of a private school and their teachers and staff strive to enrich my child's education and development. Led by principal Amanda Fung, the school prides itself on creating opportunities and partnerships in the community designed to benefit our students and staff. Although I live in Kapolei, taking the daily trio to Kamalani Academy it's a small price to pay to make sure my son gets an advantage in his education and his mentality for when he becomes an adult committed to doing good in his community. The pandemic pushed us to explore new education options for a child and we are so grateful to have found this school where individuals work hard to raise up our students in the true spirit of aloha. Mahalo Kamalani Academy and all the staff for everything they have done, where we all continue to work hard for our kids to excel.
