Summary

Reverend Benjamin Parker Elementary School is a small PK–6 school in Kaneohe, Hawaii, serving 234 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education. It is the smallest school among its nearby comparators and currently ranks 146th of 203 Hawaii elementary schools (28th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026 — down from the 52nd percentile and 3 stars in 2022–2023, passing through the 38th and 26th percentiles along the way.

Among nearby schools, science is the clearest weakness: 19% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, the lowest of any nearby campus and well below the nearby median of about 51%. The next lowest is Kailua Elementary School at 34%. Math, by contrast, is a relative bright spot at 48%, up from 34% the prior year and roughly at the nearby median. ELA sits at 42%, below the nearby median. Local contrasts are striking: Kapunahala Elementary School, just 0.52 miles away, ranks at the 89th percentile with science at 67%, while Puohala Elementary School (0.54 miles) ranks 18th but still posts a higher science score at 43%.

The school has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.1) and the highest reported per-student spending ($20,233 in 2018–2019) among nearby schools, yet chronic absenteeism is 26.0% — tied for the highest nearby — and 58.97% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, also the highest nearby. Results also vary across student groups, with the school's relative results lower for Asian students and special education students than for Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and English Language Learner students. The takeaway for families: this is a well-resourced, higher-need school where math has improved, but science is a serious and distinctive gap.
