Hello

I am new to this forum but so glad to have found it! I am wondering if anyone knows about the schools on Maui and which I may want to steer clear of and which I might want to try to be near. My kids are from elementary to high school aged, so any and all info you may have on schools, public and private would be very appreciated! I hope I am not being offensive here, I have just read in different places that some of the schools on Maui are not quite up to par and it's best to try to aim for other ones, but no one seems to mention which are the better ones... anyone here in the know on this topic? Huh

Welcome to our forum Beccarose. I'm not familiar with schools on Maui, so I can't say anything based on personal experience. Maybe you could take a look at the State of Hawaii Department of Education's "school list" where you can find out more about things like standardized test scores, performance monitoring reports, etc.

I hope this info helps! Good luck in finding the perfect school.

Thank you very much. I will look right into that. Do you live on Maui?

Hi there. No, I live on Oahu.

Hello Beccarose,

I'm planing to move to Maui this summer. Did you ever find out information about the school for your kids? Please share what you have found and which school is best? My kids will be in middle and high school. Does anyone know about the Kihei Charter School, is it better than the regular public school? Is Maui High School ok? I read some bad stuff about Maui High School (drugs etc) and afraid to put my kids in public school but can't afford private.

Also which city is good to live in, we were thinking of Kihei, Kahului or Wailuku. Please let me know which city/neighborhoods are bad ones and need to avoid.

Thank you in advance for your help!
