As Kaimuki Middle School student, I have noticed that the school only really takes action when…read morecrises really happens even though they were notified countless times of events that could lead up to these crises ahead of time. Some staff don't really care about things that's happening right in front of them. One time someone stole my ID and I had to chase after them everywhere, when that person who took my ID went in the hall a staff member noticed and stopped the chase with a very firm voice. When I tried explaining that the guy stole my ID, the staff member did not care and instead of talking to the guy, he instead put me on a bench and told me to stay there for the rest of the lunch. While the guy who stole my ID only stayed on the bench for a good 5 minutes and walked free. However, some staff do really care for their students and I appreciate that a lot.

Located right across from Kahala Mall, Kahala Elementary is a great option if you're planning on…read moresending your kids to public school. Kahala Elementary has a good amount of money coming into it, as the surrounding area is affluent and a strong pool of families which support it. A school is as only as good as the community behind it and this one is definitely well supported. My son went here and his Kindergarten teacher did a great job getting his test scores up to par. He's a very smart boy but is easily distracted. What can I say? He's a boy! I really like the administrative staff as I felt as though they really cared about my son and they have a great library staff. My son enjoyed the after school programs that are at the school which include golf, lego building and karate. If you don't live in the area it's tough to get in on a Geographic Exemption but it's worthwhile to at least attempt to get in.

On Saturday, March 2, 2019, Taste of St. Patricks was a fundraiser for the school to help students who cannot afford tuition. Per my sister, parents of children are required to volunteer their time and possibly purchase scrips to help at this event. Scrips can be bought a one booth, 1 scrip is $1.00 and 10 scrip on 1 sheet is $10.00. Scrips are used to purchased food at various food booths. Cash can be used at bake sale at cafeteria. Entertainment by various entertainers and performance by school choir and others.

St. Patrick School offers children the opportunity to learn in a small class size with…read moreindividualized attention to the children's learning needs. The Administration is very aware of the many learning challenges of students in the Elementary Age, and has consistently demonstrated attention to training and reinforcing this need to be sensitive to the learning of the whole child ever since Sr. Anne Clare DeCosta, SS.CC. became the Vice-President for Education/Principal. Since this is a Roman Catholic/Sacred Hearts focused school, teaching about Catholicism is at the bedrock of the curriculum. The Catholic Worship Service, or Mass is offered on a regular basis, and the Catholic Religion is taught in the classroom. Yet, for those families who are not Catholic, the Administration is very sensitive to not force the Catholic Theology upon their Non-Catholic students and their families. Instead, the Charism of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (The foundational teachings which underlie St. Patrick School) encourages the intellectual and moral development of children regardless of whether or not that person is Roman Catholic or not. St. Patrick School offers a diverse co-curriculum and sports is an integral part. St. Patrick School also offers the "Taste of St. Patrick" Annual Event which returned this school year after several years of Covid-19 Adherence. This is a fundraising event which brings together the St. Patrick Church & School as well as those who live in the Kaimuki area. This is truly a community centered event with all of the St. Patrick School Clubs participating. No school is perfect since no human is perfect. As such, St. Patrick has its limitations, and financial challenges as do most Parochial/Parish Schools here in the State of Hawaii, and most likely, across the United States of America. Competition amongst the numerous Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS) is intense, and there is competition between St. Patrick School, Sacred Hearts Academy, and St. Louis School for those children whose parents want their child to receive an excellent, Roman Catholic centered curriculum. Yet, despite this competition, St. Patrick School has emerged as a very competitive school whose Administration remains solidly committed to providing a well rounded education. As we conclude the current 2023-2024 School Year, parents are preparing their child(ren) for Summer and the upcoming 2024-2025 School Year. For those whose child(ren) are currently enrolled in St. Patrick School, congratulations and best wishes. For those whose child(ren) and not currently enrolled in St. Patrick School, and are looking at various options, I respectfully suggest that you please consider St. Patrick School.
