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.

I am a Keaau High School Alumni and had a good experience there. The education allowed me to broaden my horizons and go to a college suited for me. The teachers and stuff care about the students and want to guide them onto the right path.

Teachers work hard to make you feel accepted and cared for. I wish there were more opportunities and selection of classes and AP courses. Overall, a good school with staff and faculty that care about the well-being of students.

Most students are sub par in math, reading and writing, and instead of the adults focusing on teachi...

This school is a waste of time. Most teachers teach a subject as they are learning it. Like a band teacher or a permanent general substitute teaching advanced math. I was forced to learn Hawaiian (from a Hawaiian teacher) for a class on American history! The staff isn't helpful and the guidance coun...
