Summary

Ewa Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, with a total enrollment of 1,136 students. The school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1 out of 1 in the state and rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Ewa Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Hawaii elementary schools, ranking between 108-160 out of 193-207 schools over the past 10 years, it has maintained a 2-star or 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger during this time period, indicating below-average performance compared to other Hawaii elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and Hawaii State Assessments are generally below the state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA and Math proficiency rates were 36% and 39% respectively, compared to the state averages of 50% and 53%. Additionally, Ewa Elementary School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.0% to 30.1% over the past two school years, significantly higher than the state's target of 15% chronic absenteeism.

When comparing Ewa Elementary School to the nearby schools, such as Hookele Elementary and Keoneula Elementary, it generally performs worse on key metrics like statewide ranking, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. The high rates of free/reduced lunch and chronic absenteeism at Ewa Elementary School may be contributing factors to its relatively lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. However, the school's English Language Learner and Pacific Islander student groups have shown stronger results, indicating potential areas of strength that could be leveraged to drive overall school improvement.
