Summary

Ewa Beach Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 731 students in grades PK-5 in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. 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 Ewa Beach Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle of Hawaii elementary schools, typically between 80-127 out of 193-207 schools, it has struggled with lower rankings for certain student subgroups. In 2023-2024, the school ranked 153 out of 203 for Asian students, 110 out of 160 for African American students, and 167 out of 196 for Pacific Islander students. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the state averages, with 49.7% proficiency in ELA, 38.69% in math, and 35.94% in science, compared to state averages around 50% in ELA, 48% in math, and 48% in science. Ewa Beach Elementary has also had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19-20.9% in recent years, which is significantly above the state's target of 15% or less.

When comparing Ewa Beach Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Hookele Elementary and Lt Col Horrace Meek Hickam Elementary, the contrast is stark. These higher-performing schools rank in the top 10% of Hawaii elementary schools and have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science. The differences may be attributed to factors like socioeconomic status, as Ewa Beach Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.61% to 30.11% in the past few years, compared to lower rates at the nearby higher-performing schools.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, July 26, 2023

Despite the EBES's standings among other HIDOE schools, I truly believe the school is on the up-and-up. The principal and vice principal are personable, professional, and open to feedback and input from families which is great. They are listening to what people have to say while also offering fresh eyes and new ideas to ensure the students at EBES get a great education.

Most staff I've interacted with are friendly, but there are a few who appear to have a "not my problem" approach... something that occurs in many workplaces, but in this case is visible to both parents and students. It doesn't set a good first impression and can make parents and students feel like a bother, so I hope they can work on this for incoming students so that they feel welcome and excited to come to school.

Teachers at EBES are great for the most part, but of course things vary teacher to teacher- communication is key. Ewa Beach is a growing and changing community and this school is doing a great job rolling with it. Take time to be part of the school community, volunteer, ask questions, and advocate for your children. Close Quote
