Iroquois Point Elementary School

Love this school! Students and teachers are awesome!

It is always difficult to deal with change but for a new principle coming to a new school, it’s not wise to make so many drastic changes so quickly.
Teachers are awesome as usual and have dealt with all these changes well.

If this school was not located on a property that was run by such an incompetent management team I would have given it a 5 star rating, but in order to get the school you have to deal with the idiots who manage the location and so that brings my review to a 2.
So while I think Iroquois Point Elementary is one of the best schools on the island, you might want to think twice about bringing your children here if you have to deal with the arrogant jerks who run the Waterfront.
{Below is a copy of a review I wrote about the Waterfront itself. I know this type of treatment is not established by the school but I really feel that ANYONE who wants to or is forced to interact with the people who manage the Waterfront property should be aware of the misuse of power and blatant ignorance you will have to deal with}
My son goes to school at Iroquois Point Elementary and we love it there! The staff is wonderful and the curriculum is ahead of most of the state. The WORST thing about the school is the location and the constant berating you receive from the property managing office and its puffed up managers.
In order to get on to Iroquois you need to present numerous documents for your vehicle. if you need to take your child to school there everyday you are issued a sticker which you receive after you fill out a form and show that your car is current. When I went through this process I was told that my paperwork was incomplete because part of my registration form was torn off (the side with the sticker… which was on my car) I explained to them that that part of the form was unnecessary given that the section of the paper they DID have had all the information to show my car was current, all they had to do was look at the sticker to prove the paper was for the same vehicle. They INSISTED that without the section of the registration paper my car was not current… I had just paid $ 350 in motor vehicle registration fees not two months ago, my car was most certainly current!!! The dingbats at that office wouldnt take the time to do something as simple as verify the sticker, which is parked not 10 feet away from there office! That level of laziness and ignorance in an office that manages such a large property is disgusting and purely arrogant.
I can only hope that the people who choose to actually move here and deal with this type of horrible service have a better time than I did… which leads me to my next complaint.
It is becoming abundantly clear that while Iroquois Point Elementary is a PUBLIC school, paid for by Hawaii State tax dollars, the location of the school does not encourage public access to it.
I am ashamed to admit that I was pulled over inside the Waterfront by a police officer on my way to taking my son to school. Yet, with a speed limit of 15 MPH that is actually a very easy thing to do!!! I expected a citation and that is fine, you break rules you deal with the consequences. What I did NOT expect was a lecture from the officer how the people from the community had made complaints about speeding down the main road (which is not near the school.) The officer then continued by saying MOST of the citations he was giving out were to parents of students who bring their children from off property!!! He then indicated that their might be repercussions due to this statistic… Well lets think about this for a second. The officer is standing two blocks away from the entrance of the waterfront facing the cars who are coming into the community at 7:30 in the morning!!! OF COURSE THE PEOPLE YOU PULL OVER ARE GOING TO BE THE ONES COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY!!! ITS FREAKING 7:30 IN THE MORNING ON A SCHOOL DAY!!! Try standing at the same spot at 5:30 and I will be shocked if most of the people sited THEN, ARENT community members returning home from work! Dirty manipulation by the property managers like this make me furious with this location! To indicate that people who dont live on the Waterfront property are somehow WORSE DRIVERS than those who live on property is vile and blatant form of discrimination!
As a Hawaii state resident and tax payer it disgusts me that I am treated this way by the morons who run this location who have an inflated notion of the quality and exclusiveness the location has to offer.
Again that was a review written about the Waterfront but because you have to deal with them in order for your child to attend the wonderful PUBLIC SCHOOL on their property all parents looking at Iroquois as a possible location should be aware of the very real downside of going there.

Had to visit this school for work… too bad it’s located in the boonies! Felt like I was driving forever down long roads surrounded by bushes… I swear if it was at night I’da been a lil apprehensive and the movie Jeepers Creepers woulda played in my mind… when I arrived though, the guard at the gate was nice and gave me directions to the school. Cute little school with nice staff and ample parking…

For certain, one of the best public schools on the west side. The buildings are old but well kept. The teachers seem to really enjoy teaching and truly care about the children. My only areas of complaint are security, cafeteria food and office staff. Otherwise and amazing place to grow and learn.

I’m glad I choose IPES for my daughter to attend. This is a great school with state of the art computer classes and all classes are air conditioned which is more important than being cool, it helps with attentiveness and overall mood of the kids. This is a smaller school but it still has the experienced teachers and educational equipment as the big schools have but being a smaller school, it’s more of a family environment. It was such an easy transition for my daughter when she attended kindergarten last year. The kinder teachers are all amazing. You’ll be in good hands with any of them.
