Aloha-huber Park School

This has been undoubtedly the worst school experience my children have ever had. The staff are very passive and do not handle children and bullying well at all. My son had a terrible experience due to his anger issues. The staff heavily encouraged us to seek counseling, yet never excepted blame for not stopping children from antagonizing him. They have no disciplinary outline what so ever. If a child misbehaves in any way, their solution is to send him home. There school counselor is like a duck in which your troubles, problems, complaints, and grievances roll off his back like water. Our daughter regularly had her personal property stolen from her from another student, and the staff did absolutely nothing to prevent the student from continuing. Their solution was to suggest we stop sending our daughter to school with jewelry on or extra jackets or sweatshirts. It was almost as if they felt she was " asking for it". The staff is rude, the cafeteria food is unhealthy and disgusting looking, The principle is same lame duck who does not like to interact with parents at all, if your child is white, you will not be treated fairly. I regret the day I first set foot into that school.

I went to this school pre-K through mid 5th grade. I felt that I trusted the teachers more than the counselors. I never got the support I needed. I am overweight and another student had bullied me the whole time i knew him and it became a norm of talking to counselors every year about a new quote he had said. It always ended in a meeting with teachers and counselors and all said was that they would place me in a different class than another person which they never did and i even had MORE classes with him than normal. I was very open with my mental illness with the counselor and told her how I didn't think I would be able to finish the rest of 5th grade. All I was told was practically to get over it and that I would be fine which triggered multi day panic attacks at school and full day depression and when I got back after days I had asked my teachers to email the counselor and didn't see her until a month later and only got to see her for about 10 minutes. Overall. Do not go here. IK's not worth it, you will not be supported.

This school has so many behavioral issues they can't control culture. My daughter was threaded and bullied by an older boy and they ignore the complaint for months. I had to go above their head and contact the school safety officer to get traction. They were so worried about the bully and not my child. The classrooms are poorly run. I have been in the classroom for 5 years for events and paid work. The story is the same.... no control. I could not see how any child could truly learn with all the rude kids. They have horrible language and calls names. They don't work on spelling or science. I had a teacher tell me that my daughter didn't matter, but if she could get her Spanish students to beat my white middle class daughters score, she did her job. I am hopeful she did not mean that sentiment. My daughter's skin color or her perceptions we are middle class should not interrupt her learning experience. My daughter testing into TAG and they have no program even though they have to. Her past two teacher did not even know she was in the TAG Category until we asked what they were doing. They said nothing would happen. We supplement her education at home, knowing these poor kids will be behind when they do into any other school.
