I have 3 boys that have attended this school for the last 3 years. Every Teacher has been great. They hold high standards while caring for each kid individually.

My 5th grader came here in October of her 3rd grade year. I also have a daughter in Kindergarten. I was very nervous about the school. Before coming here you hear the worst things about the education in Hawaii. I can tell you that Wheeler has an amazing staff. My daughters are comfortable there and both are doing well with their education and the social skills they are learning. The teachers are always willing to give the extra time and attention. I feel that the parents that have complaints are usually the ones that do not take the time to actually realize what is going on with their kids. I have never had any issue that has not been immediately resolved by a staff member. Their education, safety, and comfort is ALWAYS first with each person at Wheeler. We will all be sad when they have to leave this great school!

My daughter is in 1st grade there, this school has done great things to help us with her. I loved her teacher last year, and I'm still getting to know her teacher this year, but I can say that I think this school is great! They go above and beyond when trying to make sure your child gets the best education that is needed, my daughter has learned so much in the short period of time she has been there and I couldn't ask for more!

Teachers seem nice, curriculum does seem to be on the weaker side. YOU MUST MONITOR YOUR CHILDS PROGRESS, teachers wont' come to you until conference time. Uniform shirts great idea,clean-ish campus, very clean classroom. Playground'blacktop' means they can jump rope or baskball,my child does neither so hates 2nd recess. Many unique problems effect the school do to the student make-up. Both elem. & middle schools will listen to your concerns, seem agreeable.. but action is another ballpark. GO OVER HOMEWORK WITH KID, listen to how they are doing. YOU must help them where the school lacks here.I'm confident with some outside workbooks,parents on the ball & vocal, children who have someone to talk to when there are problems. Children can succeed here. The school also does a great job of teaching: respect,authority,citizenship and a few other charactor traits. They also just implemented a new garden.. children are excited.
