School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
Kamaile Academy is a school moving forward. This school is battling poverty in the area while having some of the brightest students I have seen. Values here are different, and the one that is the most present at this school is Aloha. The staff and students alike are a very loving family, and you feel it when you step on campus. I have three who have graduated and two more coming, and I recommend Kamaile Academy for anyone wanting that safe family environment.
