Olomana School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Hawaii high schools over the past decade, with a ranking of 64 out of 67 high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts (5.88% in 2023-2024) and Mathematics (5.56% in 2023-2024) are significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. Additionally, Olomana School has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 46.8% in the 2023-2024 school year and a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 68.8% in the same year, much higher than the nearby schools. The school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.67% to 76.47% over the past three school years.

Despite the school's overall low performance, Olomana School ranks highly (top 5-11 in the state) for its Asian and Pacific Islander student subgroups, suggesting that the school may be providing effective support for these specific student populations. When compared to the nearby high schools, such as Kalani High School and Henry J. Kaiser High School, Olomana School's academic performance and student demographics are significantly different, highlighting the unique challenges and disadvantages the school faces.
