Summary

Ewa Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Ewa Beach, Hawaii serving 1,226 students through the Hawaii Department of Education, making it the largest school in its immediate local comparison group. For 2025–2026, it ranks 104th out of 203 ranked Hawaii elementary schools, placing it at the 49th percentile with 2 stars — a middle-of-the-pack position statewide and 7th of 11 among this school and its ten nearby peers.

The school's recent history is one of steady improvement: it climbed from the 18th percentile in 2018–2019 and the 28th percentile in 2020–2021 to a stable 43rd–49th percentile range across the past five years. Mathematics is a relative bright spot, with 52% of students proficient in 2025–2026, up 6 points from the prior year and close to the nearby average — ahead of Ewa Beach Elementary School (36%), Waipahu Elementary School (37%), Honowai Elementary School (38%), and Kaimiloa Elementary School (42%), but behind Kapolei Elementary School (63%) and Hookele Elementary School (65%). English language arts (47%) is the clearer gap, below the nearby average of about 57%, and science slipped to 43%.

Two practical factors stand out for families. Chronic absenteeism was 25.0% in 2024–2025 — improved from 30.1%, but the second-highest among nearby schools, behind Pohakea Elementary School at 35% — and the student-teacher ratio of 18.5 is the highest in the group, about 4.4 students per teacher above the local average. Results for student groups are uneven: English Language Learner students rank at the 80th percentile (4 stars) and Pacific Islander students at the 67th percentile (3 stars), while Special Education students rank at the 16th percentile (1 star), a sharp drop from the 67th percentile result in 2023–2024. About 48.69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
