GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My son loved it here! Great community feel, teachers and staff really care for their students. Lots of after school opportunities (pre CoVid) and school offers specials (stem, PE, art, etc) once a week.

They have so many excellent programs, it's difficult to see the school's score only at a 7 out of 10 based on test scores. Learning is more than taking a test. All of my kids have done really well and continue to learn a great deal at Kainalu!
