I see that even in Waikiki and Wilson, which are popular public schools, the acceptance rate is about that high. I wonder if the acceptance rate is a little higher in Manoa and Noelani. ？ It seems that the Kinder exam is very competitive, but the level of the exam after elementary school is also very competitive.

Is Wilson popular ？
My second daughter has been a GE in Kinder since August and Wilson is the only one who hasn't heard anything, so I contacted them last weekend and they said they haven't sent out notices to anyone yet and
They said they still have openings and they can send out accept notices within the next week and no one will be denied. I was told that there is a SPACE that will not be deny.
I was told that Wilson, Waikiki, and Kahala are easy to get into these days, and Manoa, Noelani, Hokulani, and Nuuanu are popular because of their rising academic standards ！
However, it seems that only the top 1% of the top students at Punahou and Iolani can get in from public schools. According to Tutor, my oldest daughter.
Well, it's free education, but I wonder what the teachers are teaching if there is such a gap with private schools.
According to Tutor, it is not because they are private schools ！ but because there are only a few private schools that can provide the level of education required to enter Punahou or Iolani
and to enter those private schools is a very high level entrance exam.
My oldest daughter will be in the 5th grade in August, and she is also a Tutor, but since it is a public school, it is difficult to get into Punahou or Iolani unless you are in the top 1%
I am thinking about Midpac or Secret Heart.

From my experience, even from the public elementary schools, they have been accepted to Punahou and Iolani. Everyone I know from the 6th grade, including me, has been accepted to both schools. The average number of students who go to private schools seems to be 2 or 3 per grade because there are not many students who take the exam from public schools. I've been reading the posts here and there is a great air of not being able to get into Punahou or Iolani unless you went to a feedin school, so just FYI.

やはりパブリックからだとプナホウ、イオラニどころかプライベート自体に行く子が2〜３人しかいないんですね！
luluさんのお子さんは、その１%なんですよ！
優秀で羨ましいです！
このトピ見てからプライベート受験について学校に聞きに行きました。やはりうちの子はプナホウ、イオラニに受かる学力ではないようです　笑
本当にパブリックからはMontessori やHanahau’oli
のように9割プナホウとかとは違って難しいようです。
学校側もMontessori やHanahau’oli は独自の教育法でプナホウ、イオラニに進学率を伸ばしているから、パブリックとは違う、とハッキリ言われました。
仰る通りです！と納得でした。
我が家は受験するかどうかから練り直し！
子供に相応しいレベルを見極める良いきっかけになりました！

I took the Punahou ・ Iolani ・ mid-pack Kinder exam this year and got wiped out. Kinder exams are fierce competition.
I plan to go to one of the above public kinder in GE. I have heard that some people have gone to Punahou ・ Iolani even from public schools, which gives me hope. Thank you.
But cram school and Tutor are essential. I will try my best to try again ！.
