Reviewed:

Mokapu has made some positive changes over the past couple of years with the addition of a new principal, Dr. Fradley. He has an open door policy and is always very welcoming of feedback from parents. The school is older, most classrooms are open air with no air conditioning. (very common in Hawaii) They are very accommodating to the challenges that military families face.

  • What did you like? They have a lot of fun events for the kids and families. Lots of field trips and seem to be keeping up with the current technology with the addition of SMART boards. They put a lot of emphasis on STEM programs.
  • What did you dislike? No art classes in the standard curriculum. There is an after school art program that is available though, at an additional fee.
