Summary

Voyager – A Public Charter School is a K–8 public charter school in Honolulu, Hawaii (96822) that enrolls 242 students, and because it operates within the Hawaii Department of Education as a charter, it has no neighborhood attendance boundary — families enroll by choice rather than by address.

For 2025-2026, Voyager ranked 106th of 203 Hawaii schools in its comparison group, placing it in the 48th percentile with 2 stars — its lowest rank in the past decade, down from 3 stars in each of the four prior years and 4 stars as recently as 2017-2018. All three tested subjects slipped at once: 55% proficient in English language arts (down 5 points), 44% in math (down 8, the first time below half), and 40% in science (down 12). Science is both the weakest area and the fastest-falling one.

Among ten nearby schools, Voyager stands out in two ways. Its per-pupil spending of $8,726 is roughly half the nearby average of about $17,175, and its student poverty rate of 17.77% is far below the nearby average of about 48.5% — close to Noelani (19.67%) and Hokulani (16.43%). Those two schools, serving students with similar needs, post English language arts scores of 78 and 74 versus Voyager's 55. Voyager's English language arts result (55) is slightly above the nearby median (52), but math (44 vs. 53.5) and science (40 vs. 59) fall below it. One clear strength: chronic absenteeism improved from 23% to 16%, the fourth-lowest among these schools. Class size has drifted up from 12.5 to 14.2 students per teacher, and the school's relative results are strongest with its low-income and special-education students.

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.
