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 daughter attends preschool at Kua O Ka Lā and she absolutely loves it. Her teachers are amazing and the staff I've interacted with are so helpful and friendly. The school has been really great at being flexible and communicating during these tricky covid times. I am impressed by what my child is learning in class and I know that she feels supported and loved at school. So far, we have been so thankful for this school. We love Kua O Ka Lā.
