Summary

Governor Samuel Wilder King Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 7–8 with 513 students in Kaneohe, HI, part of the Hawaii Department of Education. Its 2025–2026 statewide profile is its strongest shown: 25th of 85 middle schools, at the 71st percentile with 4 stars, up from 43rd of 73 at the 41st percentile in 2022–2023. The trend line — 41st, 53rd, 63rd, 71st — makes King one of the clearer improvers among its peers.

Proficiency in 2025–2026 was 53% in ELA, 33% in Math and 49% in Science. ELA beats Governor Sanford B Dole Middle School (41%), Princess Ruth Keelikolani Middle School (40%) and King David Kalakaua Middle School (46%) but trails higher-ranked neighbors such as Moanalua Middle School (75%) and Kailua Intermediate School (69%). Math is the weakest subject: 33% is below most nearby schools, including Aiea Intermediate School (50%) and Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School (46%), and it dipped from 35% the prior year. Science is a bright spot at 49% — above Aiea, Kalakaua, Princess Ruth and Dole — and up sharply from 32.06% in 2023–2024, while ELA climbed from 41% in 2022–2023.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest headwind: 26.0% in 2024–2025, essentially flat from 25.8% and far above Moanalua (10%), Kulia Academy (5%) and Kailua (18%), though similar to Dole and Princess Ruth, which post much lower test scores. About 52.44% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The student-teacher ratio of 13.8 is slightly better than several neighbors, and per-student spending of $16,597 in 2018–2019 is above the nearby median, so the school is not obviously under-resourced. Measured subgroup effectiveness varies widely: Pacific Islander students rank 3rd of 53 (94th percentile, 5 stars) and low-income students 26th of 84, while Special Education students rank 46th of 63 and English Language Learner students fell to 45th of 48 in 2025–2026.
