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.

The worst parts are only because of some students but nothing wrong normally happens. best parts are watching the band or orchestra play because they are one of the best in the school county and is very fun to watch. Something I would want to see change in is the security guards. A couple of them are fat and only ride in the golf cart all day and they have favorites so its not really fair to the other students and they need to be fired and we need actual fit guards to protect the students from fights and from outside problems.

Moanalua High School was an excellent experience. I enjoyed the school; the teachers and staff were very good at their job. The worst part of the experience was COVID but other than that, I liked the school a lot. I would like to see the food get changed.

Moanalua High school is a place where there are lots of opportunities with variety of classes, courses, committees to join, and even clubs and extracurriculars. What I would like to see change is the football field or soccer field since its not the best and it constantly is in bad shape. All 4 years of high school, the field has not improved or been changed since then. Other than the field, there is nothing else you could ask for in this high school.

My child broke her hand during PE. The teacher sent her back on the field because it didn't look bad. She called me in tears after class from the pain and didn't know what to do. I told her to go to the nurse picked her up and took her to the hospital. The next class the teacher laughed at her force...
