Situated on Maui’s western shore, Kihei is one of the sunniest places on the island. Kihei’s hot and dry climate initially earned it the name Kama’ole, meaning “barren” in Hawaiian. However, Kihei has grown exponentially, earning a designation as a tourist hotspot with no shortage of things to do and see.
Kihei boasts six miles of gorgeous beaches, offering abundant opportunities to go swimming, surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, boating, and more. Additional recreational activities abound at the vast Kalama Beach Park and its many athletic facilities. Kihei is also home to the Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, where visitors can learn more about marine life and spot magnificent humpback whales. Small shopping malls, a popular farmers market, and a bevy of restaurants are all located in Kihei as well, providing plenty of modern conveniences to Kihei residents and visitors. Getting around Kihei is simple with access to buses and the Kahului Airport.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
