KAHALUU ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Kahaluu Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Hawaii Department of Education school district, located in Kaneohe, HI with about 286 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 23 teachers, Kahaluu Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Kahalu?u Elementary School is a public school located in the lush, rural community of Kaneohe on the windward side of O?ahu. Serving a student population primarily from the local surrounding area, the school is deeply rooted in the traditions and values of the Kahalu?u valley. The campus environment is known for its tranquil, scenic setting, which reflects the community's strong connection to the land and the preservation of Hawaiian culture and history.

Academically, the school focuses on providing a nurturing environment that emphasizes foundational learning, character development, and student engagement. As a smaller community school, Kahalu?u Elementary often fosters close relationships between staff, families, and students, creating a tight-knit "ohana" atmosphere. By integrating place-based learning and community involvement into its culture, the school strives to prepare its students not only for academic success but also to become responsible, culturally aware citizens within the Hawaiian community.
