Aliamanu Elementary School

Posted October 2, 2009

We had a child go to a different much raved about elementary school closely affiliated with federally connected children, for our Kindergarten child this year we chose Aliamanu. It also has many military kids, but I find it refreshing that the children here still have autonomy. This school does not over supervise the children, and that gives them a way to learn and have a sense of independence and pride to do things alone. It is not a 'Nanny' school, the yards are not plush green, Teachers care at this school, and as old as the buildings are, they do good with what they have. During the furlough now, the Principal is doing everything possible to work with the parents, i am impressed with her initiative and can do for the children attitude. Great school

It is very unfortunate that my daughter does to this school, I thank God that my oldest has finally moved on to Jr. High/Middle School. I have solid proof on just how terrible this school is and the continuous mistakes this school keeps making. My daughter finally got assigned to a teacher that seems to be half way decent. For the last 2/3 years I can honestly say that the teachers are poor, poor in their teaching skills. Before coming here I use to be highly active in the schools, but here, I have no desire. I think as a parent, I would highly suggest to you to dig into what is going on at the school. If the Superintendent, Principal or counselors read this they will know exactly who I am. I have had many incidents with this school that were/are appalling.

this school lacks basic needs such as yard duty and security. it is an open campus on which the teachers are the primary security force and that is if they are out or happen to notice suspicious things or people. as with most schools here there s no air conditioning. there are about 800 kids and only three play grounds which have to be shared with many classes from different grade levels. pe for most kids is every other week. there re however a few teachers that are well worth have and unfortunately many disenchanted teacher who have seemed to have lost their passion. Unfortunately many hold two jobs and not just in the off season to supplement their income. as far as parent involvement the stats are in accurate there were a few hundred volunteers throughout this year. If you are new incoming to kindergarten I would definitely recommend Mrs. Miyata. She is both stern and caring, and very detail oriented.

G A R B A G E. If you want your kids to receive some kind of decent education do not send them here. The teachers send assignment papers home with misspelled words and horrible grammar. It really makes you wonder how and what they really teach in class or if they do anything at all.
