One of the three high schools on the Garden Isle, Kauai High School is the one centrally located…read morecloser to Lihue. This review is strictly for their facilities and campus, not education/curriculum. Home to the Red Raiders, Kauai High is a public school with tons of school pride. Students wear school shirts daily, with several different designs in an array of colors, personally I think it's super cool- and a way for faculty to keep track of students. Morning time can be confusing, as there's cones set up for student drop off. Park in a marked Visitor stall right up front. Check in at the front office and get a Visitor sticker so that staff know you've signed in. Visited their campus on a Wednesday and Friday, to do presentations to their HOSA classes. With bright red buildings and open spaces for students to hangout, I really enjoyed their campus.

The good: - friendly and dedicated faculty who focus on…read moreteaching and preparing students - picturesque campus with Chinese gazebo - hub of community activity and not far from really anything on island - free parking...and lots of it given the size of the school - affordable way for students to get a college education without breaking the bank or leaving Kauai The bad (not really bad but something to think about): - because of it's size and the community it serves, the choices at KCC are limited and the facilities are on par with most high schools. What the faculty are able to do with those facilities is amazing. But if a student is looking for the widest range of choices as far as classes/degree fields they are going to have to go off island. The ugly: - none that I can think of

Hey good morning everybody, my name is Joseph Estacio, and i wanted to leave a 5 star review…read morebecause i never believed i was good or smart enough to go to college, this review is for all my Teachers- Duke Lang, Gigi Drent, James Andrews, what i like is how topics are explained by relating things of interest, being a straight forward person, Mrs. Drent tries to break things down so i understand, and admissions and Kcc's Financial Aid team Jeff Anderson, Kuulei Palomares, Carna Brown, there isanother person that helped but his name isn't on the website, you guys helped me get into college, i never thought id make it here, thank you for the opportunity, you all should get a raise- im not so educated so it took awhile for me to comprehend, and you all gave me patience, good job and thank you. p.s give them a raise

Review is strictly for the campus and staff! Not education or curriculum…read more Visited Kapaa High School on a weekday to present to the Clinical Health Class. Campus is right up Mailihuna Road on the left side. Parking for guests is right up against the school with marked stalls as such. Make sure you check in at the front office before heading to your destination. The lady at the window was SUPER kind and even offered to show me where the classroom I was looking for was! The campus is HUGEEE! With tons of colorful art and murals throughout. I also saw several art pieces along the school. It was cool to see staff members buzzing around on golf carts; with such a vast space it sure does help to have security and faculty on carts to get to the different places on campus quickly. I was lucky enough to hitch a ride from a security guard after my presentation back to the front office area. Booyah!

Kapaa school staff are great. They helped me transfer my Son out with no hassle and no judgement.read more

HORRIBLE SCHOOL!!! A 7 year old child lost his life under the guidance of this school. They took no…read moreresponsibility in the accident that took place when they are at fault. They are more concerned with people leaving 1 star reviews than taking accountability! They continue to delete reviews after people express their concerns about this incident. A family is in mourning of their son who they will never see again thanks to this neglectful school... ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. They obviously do not care about their students or their families.

I grew up on Kauai and attended public school. I had an overall good experience (though a lots…read morechanged in 20 years), nothing that ever made me not want to go back to school. Always expected by kids to take the same road. But I know others who had horrible experiences and/or choose to make poor decisions. Public school can be a gamble on shopping your Childs character. We started our daughter in Pre-school at KCA and have kept her into 2nd grade. It's been an amazing experience. The student body from Kindergarten into high school is so well behaved. KCA has created a solid God centered culture supported by great staff and teachers. We have only experienced the teachers up into 2nd grade but the staff just seems to get better and better. Our son is now in pre-school and we look forward to the coming years and the small classroom sizes.

Straight talking, truly academic staff with Christian values on the curriculum…read more One can't go wrong with that.
