As a REALTOR on Oahu, I am frequently asked about ranking the public schools on Oahu. What I can suggest is that you review reports such as these, ask friends and colleagues, and visit and speak with the Hawaii public schools themselves. Make your own assessment. These Oahu public school reports are just one tool to use and are not the definitive resouces on the quality of Oahu public schools. As I have stated before, how a child will do in school has much to do with his or her parents’ involvement in his or her education and whether the learning instutiton is a good fit for the child. Some children who attend Oahu public schools do as well or better than kids that attend private schools. And vice versa; attending a private school does not guarantee your child will do well or even attend college.  There are many factors to consider.

Top Leeward Oahu Schools - 2008 Best Public School Report

Out of the top 50 public schools in Hawaii, nine Leeward Oahu schools were listed in Honolulu Magazine’s recent rankings. In fact, the #1 Top-rated School in all of Hawaii was a Leeward Oahu school. This is the list:

#9 Palisades Elementary

#28 Manana Elementary

#29 Leihoku Elementary

#33 Holomua Elementary

Now that I mentioned Leeward Oahu, I should probably list the Central Oahu schools, as well. Ten (10) central Oahu schools were named in the Top 50 for all of Hawaii in the Honolulu Magazine Report.
