GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Really great school! My kids love the teachers. You can tell the teachers really care. My daughter loved Ms. Brask and my son adored Ms. Zickuhr. All the teachers are helpful and concerned. They could give more homework to challenge is my only concern.

The principal is not warm, friendly, nor receptive to parental involvement and despite what another reviewer (the Principal) wrote, Pukalani does not have drama. PE and Art are taught by the classroom teachers. If you have a choice between Pukalani and Makawao, choose Makawao.

Just as an update to all the reviews below. There is a new principal at this school as of last school year. She has a background in Special Ed, so you can expect an administrator who knows about your child's special needs. The PTA is very strong and though the school does not have an overflowing bud...

If you have a special needs child, good luck getting help... Most of the teachers here are very good... not much extra activities... such as PE, Band. No male teachers.
