Summary

Reverend Benjamin Parker Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kaneohe, Hawaii, serving 261 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Hawaii Department of Education district.

The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, currently at 1 out of 5 stars. Its performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and special education students performing significantly lower than their peers. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.9% in 2023-2024, which may be contributing to its lower academic outcomes. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, its test scores and proficiency rates are generally below the state averages, suggesting that resources alone may not be the primary driver of academic success.

Compared to nearby schools like Mokapu Elementary, Kainalu Elementary, and Maunawili Elementary, Reverend Benjamin Parker Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with higher rankings, test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates at the neighboring schools. The school faces challenges in improving its overall academic performance and addressing the achievement gaps for certain student subgroups.
