Most teachers and administrators are phenomenal! High performing students can thrive here. There are a ton of AP opportunities and numerous clubs. If there is something your student wants to peruse and there isnt a club or organization the faculty will support your kid in building it. The school is the heart of the community and there are activities happening every day of the year- even through summer.

A great school for education and preparedness for college or career.
Had two sons attend this school and one was accepted to West Point and the other earned a BS degree at a private college.
Leilehua was diirectly responsible for offering the education that these boys applied themselves to.
I don't know about the "equity" rating because I think demanding equity over offering complete equality to everyone is blatantly racist.

I graduated Leilehua in 2013 and my years spent there were fantastic. I learned a lot, the teachers and staff were friendly, there were hardly any fights, and everyone seemed to get a long very well. The only negative thing I would say about this school is that even with all of the awards their art classes win they don't put a lot of funding into them. They like to focus on their sports teams.

I never saw much bullying there at the time that I went.

The teachers were always willing to work extra hours with students who learned differently or had trouble understanding the material.

At the time I went there the vice principal was terrible.

The school did the best they could. At the end of the day this kind of stuff comes from home.

Every teacher I had cared about their students and wanted them to succeed

The amount of homework seemed strenuous depending on the course load you took. But, overall it was fair.

My years in Leilehua were good ones. Teachers are great, bullying is almost none existent (I have not witnessed any), strong sense of community, many extracurricular activities (outside of school as well), and great athletic department. My complaints: their is not a diverse range of classes, science department is lacking (learned little during 10th and 11th grade), and school class locations is unorganized eg: english class in science wing (this has been continuing to improve over the years however). Highlights: Again, great teachers who really care about us students, strong math, history, language arts, and everything else departments; the student in student athlete is emphasized (many opportunities to catch up on work such as SMARTS nights, tutoring, etc so no excuses fellow students!), opportunities in discovering many different cultures; and last but not least, EXCELLENT avid teachers who push you to do your best and to make the effort to get into college, earn scholarships, and making a better out of students in general -KH
