KALAHEO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Kalaheo Elementary School is a public elementary school that is part of the Hawaii Department of Education school district, located in Kalaheo, HI with about 452 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 30 teachers, Kalaheo Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

As a public institution under the Hawaii State Department of Education, the school is deeply integrated into the local culture, emphasizing the values of the island while providing a foundational education for elementary-aged students. Its location on Maka Road places it in a scenic, rural-suburban environment, characteristic of the quiet, community-focused lifestyle found in this part of Kauai.

Like many schools in Hawaii, Kalaheo Elementary often incorporates place-based learning, encouraging students to connect with their local environment and history. With its small-town setting, the school typically benefits from strong parental involvement and a close-knit faculty, striving to prepare its students for success in middle school and beyond while maintaining the unique spirit of the "Garden Isle."
