Summary

Hauula Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Hauula, Hawaii, with a student population of 398. 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.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Hauula Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Hawaii elementary schools, ranging from 125-182 out of 193-207 schools over the past 10 years. It has also received low SchoolDigger ratings, ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5. The school's test scores are below the state average across all grade levels and subjects, with only 51% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 40% in Mathematics, and 35% in Science. Additionally, Hauula Elementary has high chronic absenteeism rates, with 25% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025 and 27.5% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools in the Hawaii Department of Education district, such as Helemano Elementary, Wahiawa Elementary, and Sunset Beach Elementary, Hauula Elementary School performs significantly worse, with lower statewide rankings, poorer test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism. However, the nearby Kamalani Academy, a public charter school, has even lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking than Hauula Elementary, suggesting it may be an outlier in the district.
