What is Punahou or Iolani schools in Honolulu like? |
Travel Info Are students orderly and well-behaved? Are there gangs and drugs problems? Or they bring knives and guns to school? Do they have a good advance math and science program? Travel Tips Punahou and Iolani are both well respected private schools. I'm certain that like any other school they have their share of problems with "problem" children but since it's a private school, any student can be kicked out if they don't follow the rules. As far as gangs and drugs, both schools have strict policies about the non formation of gangs and no drugs allowed on campus but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Obviously knives and drugs are not allowed in school and will not be tolerated by these (or any other) schools. If you're looking for good academics, I would suggest you look into Iolani. They are more known for their academics vs. Punahou. I noticed that Kamehameha was mentioned by someone else. Kamehameha has a very strict admissions policy for preference to native hawaiians so if you're not hawaiian, don't even waste your time.....you won't get in. Good luck! Others Both Punahou, and Iolani are very, very good schools. They are private, meaning you pay a tuition to attend. Scholastically, they both have terrific science and math programs, and are most apt to prepare the student to a college program. No, there aren't drug problems or gang problems at either school. While several stupid child-like teen from each have their own problem, if discovered, they are properly kicked out. Guns and knives if found, are also grounds for dismissal. As a whole, the students at both are given a very wholesome environment to attend school in. I will say much, much better than the public school system, as in the private schools, you can control the teachers that are hired, as well as the attending student body. You had better include Kamehameha schools in all this, they as well are tops in Hawaii education, and all three have programs from kindergarten through twelfth grade. One more thing, the programs are all well rounded. Scholastic, physical ed, music, arts are all required. And the kids are very nice gentlemen and ladies. Just want to point out that Kamehameha Schools are only for children of Hawaiian descent--in regards to BillW's response. :) uhm. okay. there's no drug problems, gangs, etc. The difference between Punahou and Iolani is that Punahou is more well-rounded. Almost every kid does a sport. Iolani is known for just having smart kids. also, they're all asian. |
