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 great for those looking to stay on top of their academics while having a great time. There are numerous clubs available for those of any interest.

Kalaheo is one of the better public highschools in Hawaii on Oahu in my opinion. Overall it has a better reputation then other schools in the surrounding areas and many students do very well at this school. I know people that drive 30 minutes without traffic to attend. With that being said school spirit is not really there. If there was more pride in the school people would want to take better care of the school and those in it. The staff do care a lot about their students but as a student myself it's not always clear where to go when help is needed whether it's in a academic sense or how to use the councilors or advisers on campus.

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.

I taught here 1 year and substitute taught for 1 year. I would still be working if we had not moved, and would be working full time if I did not now have children of my own. A previous review said that teachers are "dropping like flies" and although I sympathize this may happen in part for negative...

Horrible for the most part! Office staff ratings are in the negative! They don’t like the students and can care less when a parent comes in. They try to avoid eye contact so that the other person can assist or help the person whom have entered. I have heard the way they speak to other people’s child...

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...
