Summary

Heeia Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in Kaneohe on Oahu's windward side, serving 358 students as part of the single statewide Hawaii Department of Education district.

In the 2025–26 rankings, Heeia Elementary School placed 99th of 203 Hawaii elementary schools — the 51st percentile, with 3 stars. Test proficiency was 51% in English language arts, 35% in math and 63% in science. That middle-of-the-road position is not new: over the past decade the school has never left the middle of the pack, ranging between roughly the 45th and 66th percentile, and it sits at almost the same spot today as it did ten years ago. Location makes the point vividly — Kapunahala Elementary School, less than a mile away, ranks in the 89th percentile, while Reverend Benjamin Parker Elementary School, also under a mile away, ranks in the 28th. Heeia sits almost exactly between them. It does so with above-average resources: $17,639 per student and an 11.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio, smaller classes than most nearby schools. About 52% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, above the neighborhood average.

Science is the clear strength — 63% proficient, well above the nearby average and ahead of wealthier schools like Aikahi Elementary School and Maunawili Elementary School. Special education is the standout: the school ranked in the 79th percentile in 2025–26 and 83rd the year before, up from the 49th two years earlier. Math is the sharpest weakness at 35%, a 10-point single-year drop and the lowest figure in the available window, leaving a 16-point gap between ELA and math versus a neighborhood norm of about 2 points. Chronic absenteeism is also rising, from 18.9% to 23.0%, while nearby Kainalu Elementary School, Mokapu Elementary School and Maunawili sit at 8–11%.
