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.

This school is just straight up bad. There are barely any honors classes for kids to enroll in, the teachers don't seem like they care about their job and the students are straight up rude. I'm disappointed to say I'm from this school.

It is a good experience here in Lanai Elementary/High School. Everyone knows each other and always helps each other with work and other things. Students who attend here feel safe, just the way I do. It is a loving and caring community and you will feel just like you are part of the family.

With the new ownership of our island and a new principal, Lana i is going through some positive changes right now. We still have a long ways to go to catch up to the rigor that the common core standards necessitate, but I do feel we are headed in the right direction. Teaching and working at Lana i s...

Lana'i has wonderful, respectful students who don't give any trouble like in inner city schools. However, the academic rigor of the curriculum is not as high as it could be. What the school lacks, due to dwindling student enrollment and funds, the community is left to support. Despite the cutbacks a...
