Kamalii Elementary School is a public elementary school that is part of the Hawaii Department of Education school district, located in Kihei, HI with about 496 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 28 teachers, Kamalii Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. 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 part of the Hawaii State Department of Education, the school is known for its commitment to providing a well-rounded academic foundation while fostering a supportive, community-focused environment. The name "Kamali‘i" translates from Hawaiian to "the children," which reflects the school’s core mission of prioritizing the growth, well-being, and individual potential of its students.

The school benefits from its vibrant location in South Maui, often integrating the local culture and environment into its educational approach. Beyond core academics, Kamali‘i Elementary emphasizes character development and collaborative learning, striving to prepare students for the transition to middle school and beyond. With a dedicated staff and an active parent-teacher community, the school remains a central pillar in the Kihei area, focusing on creating an inclusive atmosphere where students are encouraged to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
