While Principal Arakaki is known for increasing students test scores, thats turned out to be all that the focus is any more. Students have been reduced to math and reading scores, and are no longer supported as whole-children. In the time that hes been at Pauoa, theres no art or music classes during the school day, and theres no May Day either. He cut the GT program, and the library sits unused by students, which is weird for a school that is so proud of its academic achievements. He requires that some students spend up to 3 hours a week on their iPads doing i-Ready if theyre in the red for math and reading, and all behavior problems are handled by the school counselor, not the principal. The teachers at Pauoa work incredibly hard, and it has been sad to see how much their roles have been reduced to producing results.

Because the faculty, parents and students are one big family- very friendly and helpful. In addition, the teachers are excellent and go above and beyond- working on weekends to create stages for plays that their students are in, volunteering their time, advocating for important causes, educating the youth on issues such as preserving the environment, physical health, and emotional well-being.
