I have had many encounters with both present and former staff at Lihikai School and have always found them to be cordial, professional and helpful.

Lihikai Elementary is an awesome school. I am very pleased with the teachers, office staff, and all the other employees that help to run the school as smoothly as possible. Everyone is very friendly and always greets you with a smile. Great job Lihikai!

Real commitment of the part of the staff. The school is trying to pass AYP and avoid being restructured. The principal is trying many things to avoid this happening. There are after-school activities such as basketball. Parent involvement varies there are many lower income and non-English speaking students. Also this is a very large school for elementary level, over 1,000 students. The quality of instruction depends on the level of skill your child enters with.
