This is an outstanding school, the best overall school in the Hickam community. Mr. Lee (Principal) is very down to earth and always looks out for his students best interest. The teachers do a superb job and always kept us abreast on our childrens progress. This school is more in tune with the local traditions and island history. Our kids miss this school.
IEP process was slow and arduous. Teachers and staff alike were unprepared for my child's specific learning disability. Staff was unsupportive in the formation of an adequate IEP program and presented many obstacles to a free and equal education.
Out of the 3 schools in Hickam, Nimitz is more student oriented. The teacher/pupil ratio is very low and they kids are actually learning. My daughter is now in 2nd grade, she started K at Nimitz and so far I have loved every teacher she was in. They encouraged kids to think and actually not only book smart but also life smart. The principal, v-principal and the whole staff are very friendly, yet professional and strict to the kids. They also encourage parent involvement throughout the year. We are leaving this year and I'm hoping that my daughter will get the same level of education as what she gets from Nimitz. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Unfortunately, because of my schedule; I have not volunteered at the school. I realize by not volunteering, I leave many of the decisions in the hands of others. My child attended an IB school in CO prior to moving here. Her homework at Nimitz was right on track with higher learning. She is challenged and her teacher is very involved in her progress. The one thing that stands out is the lack of playground equipment. A school this size should have more for the children to do at recess. I am unaware of any after-school sporting opportunities.
