To the comment above/below... yes Lehua became the 1st Lighthouse on Oahu. I too believe the Leader in Me program is amazing. Not sure how the ratings thing works, but I think the school, faculty, upkeep and atmosphere is great! My wife and I will be sad to pull our daughter when its time to move. Keep up the good work Lehua!! Close Quote

They have a great leadership program, The Leader in Me. Students are taught the 8 Habits. The school's faculty takes the students where they are at and instills leadership skills through the use of the Habits of Success. Hopefully they will be the first Lighthouse school in Hawaii. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
