A Preview of Next Month's Issue

Introducing our May 2010 issue.

Coming in our May issue:

HONOLULU Magazine ranks 257 schools in our “Grading the Public Schools” chart. Check out how your school did, from math and reading proficiency, to parent, teacher and student satisfaction. And in “The Maryland Lesson,” senior writer Michael Keany looks to the state that has the No. 1 public schools, for ideas on how Hawaii can improve its system.

Also in our May issue, we cover the plight of baby boomers who find themselves both taking care of elderly parents and still looking after children of their own. Look for “Caught in Between,” for insights into the challenges faced by this Sandwich Generation, as well as helpful financial advice.

For lighter fare, don’t miss “Bugs,” a fascinating trip into the hidden world of the Bishop Museum’s entomology department.
