of 203 Hawaii Elementary Schools

Better than 7% of Hawaii elementary schools

Summary

Waimanalo Elementary & Intermediate School is a PK–8 public school in Waimanalo, HI, serving 344 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, a district that includes every nearby school and therefore does not meaningfully set this campus apart.

The school ranks near the bottom of Hawaii's schools: 188th of 203 in 2025–2026, which is the 7th percentile with 0 stars, a slight improvement from 196th of 204 (4th percentile) the year before. Proficiency was 29% in English language arts, 20% in math, and 21% in science in 2025–2026 — well below most nearby schools. Enchanted Lake Elementary School, Kaelepulu Elementary School, Maunawili Elementary School, Ka'ohao Public Charter School, Hahaione Elementary School, and Kamiloiki Elementary School, all a few miles away, rank in the 76th–94th percentile with 61%–76% math proficiency. Closer to home, Blanche Pope Elementary School ranks in the 8th percentile and Malama Honua Charter School, less than a mile away, ranks in the 52nd percentile with 50% ELA and 44% math.

Chronic absenteeism was 38% in 2024–2025, down from 45% the year before but still far above the 5%–14% seen at the nearby Kailua and Hawaii Kai schools. Nearly 80% of students (79.36%) qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among the schools compared here. Math is the sharpest weakness and has been for several years. One bright spot: English language learners reached the 51st percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, the only subgroup at or above the statewide median, while the low-income subgroup sat at the 6th percentile. Recent gains in ELA, math, and attendance are real but small, leaving the school in the bottom 10% statewide.
