Summary

Mililani Uka Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Mililani, HI, serving 658 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, the state's single statewide district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 57th of 203 Hawaii elementary schools—72nd percentile, 4 stars—placing it above average statewide but no longer in the top tier it occupied a decade ago, when it reached the 95th percentile with 5 stars in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017.

Locally, the school sits in the middle of the Mililani/Waipahu cluster. It trails Mililani Ike Elementary School (1st of 203), Mililani Mauka Elementary School (4th), Manana Elementary School (25th), Waikele Elementary School (26th), Kanoelani Elementary School (27th), and Kipapa Elementary School (36th), and is just behind Mililani Waena Elementary School (55th), while leading August Ahrens Elementary School (84th), Kaleiopuu Elementary School (91st), and Waipahu Elementary School (158th). Proficiency is 57% in English Language Arts, 61% in Mathematics, and 62% in Science—below the top local schools and mid-pack overall, with ELA the relative weak spot after an 8-point decline from 65%. Attendance and poverty measures are strengths: chronic absenteeism fell to 12.0%, lower than most neighbors, and free/reduced lunch is 22.95%, lower than every nearby school except Mililani Ike and Mililani Mauka.

Class sizes are larger than at most neighbors (14.6 students per teacher), and per-student spending of $14,687 (2018–2019) is the second-lowest in the comparison group. Effectiveness with English Language Learners has been exceptional—92nd to 97th percentile, 5 stars in the last two years—and special education and low-income effectiveness are also strong. Overall, Mililani Uka Elementary School is a solid, above-average school with strong attendance and relatively low poverty; returning to its former standing would likely require gains in ELA and higher overall proficiency.
