Back when I was a young lad, there was this weird rivalry between the two private schools of…read moreWaimea; between Parker and HPA. I don't know if they ever got over this, but the fact still remains: Parker is the better school. You could even say its just "real." The teachers are supportive and qualified, the students are pleasant, the curriculum is constantly improving, and the administration is known for its lack of stifling bureaucracy. AND its cheap as far as private school tuition goes.. I spent my last year at Parker, but I wish I could have started earlier! Stay tuned for Parkers up-and-coming "Thomas Center for Young Entrepreneurs Who Want to Learn About Business and How To Do Other Things Well Too" opening fall 2043.

Waikoloa school is comparitively better than other public elementary schools on the island. I know…read morebecause I went there for a couple of years waaaay back when it opened. But forget that: this review is about the school as a skate spot. The school is chock full of slippery knee- to shin-high concrete benches. Some of the benches are really slippery, but you have to hunt around for them. I'm pretty sure theres some right up front by the admin building. There are also these big speed bump pyramids which are good as gap up gap down manual pads. The parking lot has a decent-sized grass gap thats about 5-or 6 feet with a foot and a half step down. Good for throwing a box, picnic table, or portable rail across. There is also a little tiny curb thats sloped like a kicker. Its only about 9 inches high, but the tiny transition is steep enough on it to actually get some pop. You can find that right by the parking lot gap. Theres a but more to it, but you have to search around. And don't skate there at too late at night or when school is in session. Be sure to park on the street or across Paniolo at that church. Do this so you dont get locked in by vindictive faculty. Overall, great potential for lines, and smooth pavement to cut down on noise when filming. If you're in the area and have a skate, give a lil sesh-won, szechuan.
