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.

Kalaheo High School is a welcoming community, yet it lacks a sense of spirit that many other schools have. (This may be due to the lackluster football team).

I went there for 3 years. It was a small school with a small graduating class. Everyone knew everyone and I liked it that way. My class was fun

There are a couple really incredible teachers but for the most part, the teachers do the least possible to facilitate the students learning. Almost everyone is given an opportunity for sports and many of them do quite well state-wide. the school overall is very old and none of its facilities are up to date. There is opportunity for success if you push for it but there is little pressure from the school to do well.

Kalaheo is an interesting school to say the least. There is very little school spirit or sense of unity and friendships there which is sad. As a student for 3 years now, I don't think they have figured out the right attitudes to promote in the right ways. At rallies, usually you'd expect everyone to...

What a disappointment! We requested a Geographic Exception for our daughter to attend HS here after we carefully reviewed both options in Kailua, and sadly, we are pulling her out this month, Dec 2016. The initial registration process for us was the first of many disappointing encounters. We were tr...
