Summary

Voyager - A Public Charter School is a K-8 elementary school in Honolulu, Hawaii, serving 258 students within the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school has consistently performed above the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with a 60.36% ELA proficiency rate compared to the state's 50%, and a 50.59% Math proficiency rate compared to the state's 45-53% across grade levels.

Voyager's strong academic performance sets it apart from many nearby traditional public schools, suggesting the charter school model may be effective in improving student outcomes in this area. The school performs particularly well for Hispanic and Pacific Islander students, ranking 23rd and 21st out of Hawaii elementary schools respectively in 2023-2024. However, the school struggles more with Asian and White student performance, ranking 119th and 99th in those subgroups. Voyager has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 23% in 2023-2024 to 16% in 2024-2025, though this is still higher than the nearby top-performing schools like Hokulani Elementary (10%) and King Liholiho Elementary (10%).

At 17.44% in 2023-2024, Voyager has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to many of the nearby schools, which range from 22% to over 60%. This suggests the school may serve a more economically advantaged student population, which could contribute to its academic success. Overall, Voyager - A Public Charter School appears to be a high-performing school within the Honolulu area, with particular strengths in academic achievement, but it still faces challenges with chronic absenteeism.

Toxic toxic toxic. Do not send your child to this school. You will regret it! To see your child in tears daily because he cannot understand the work. To listen to an educator belittle him and his classmates for asking questions or asking for help. “You should have been listening” “I’m not going to repeat myself” “Everyone else seems to get it except for you” “We already went over this” (They are 8 and 9 year old 3rd graders) Absolutely disgusting. No help from the principal. regarding teacher. Refused to switch teachers/classes when we have asked numerous times since the beginning of the year. He calls it “tough love”. Pulling my child out immediately and never looking back! Shame on you Voyager PCS! Close Quote

Deceiving education methods and lack of accountability both on the teachers and administration's side. The parents don't know where the kids are based on their "traffic light" like grading system. Some of the teachers are really mean and disrespectful both with the students and the parents. Dirty and outdated facility (old and dirty carpets, moldy AC units, almost inexistent play area, only a few computers, cafeteria is actually the library, etc.), in spite of the fact they are constantly fundraising. This explains why such a small school can afford to pay both a vice principal and a principal (the latter has gotten a pay raise every year since he came on board, and is getting paid much better than a public school principal). Advise: do your research before and ask detailed questions. Best option: take your kids to a public school or, even better, to a private one if you can afford it. We pulled out both of our girls (7 and 9) after 1 year when we found out more about what was really going on there and about the fact that our kids were actually behind by comparison to the average public school kids.
