Summary

Lahainaluna High School is a public high school located in Lahaina, Hawaii, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 870 students. The school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1 out of 1 in the state and rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Lahainaluna High School has consistently ranked in the lower half of Hawaii high schools over the past 10 years, the nearby Maui High School and Henry Perrine Baldwin High School have ranked higher. Lahainaluna's performance is relatively poor for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Pacific Islander students, but it performs better for White students and Special Education students.

Lahainaluna High School's four-year graduation rate has improved, but it still lags behind the nearby Maui High School. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be a significant factor contributing to its overall academic underperformance. Additionally, the higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Lahainaluna High School compared to nearby schools suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by students from lower-income backgrounds.
