Summary

Gustav H Webling Elementary School is a PK–6 school at 99-370 Paihi St in Aiea, HI, serving 436 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, a single statewide district where school-to-school comparisons matter far more than district rankings. Gustav H Webling Elementary School is the top-ranked school in its immediate peer group, entering 2025-2026 at 39th of 203 Hawaii elementary schools — 81st percentile, 4 stars — its best statewide placement in the decade of data provided. That is a 35-percentile-point gain since 2015-2016, with the pace accelerating most recently (55th → 64th → 68th → 72nd → 81st).

Proficiency is above the local average in all three subjects: 64% in ELA, 61% in math, and 65% in science, roughly 12–20 points above the peer average. Science is the standout result — Pearl Ridge Elementary School outscored Webling in ELA (68) and math (66) but posted just 47 in science. Webling's chronic absenteeism, 8.0%, is tied with Red Hill Elementary School for the lowest in the group and less than half the 17.0% peer average, even though its poverty rate (32.8%) is higher than that of Pearl Harbor Kai Elementary School. The trade-off is class size: Webling's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is the highest in the group, and its per-student spending ($15,599, from 2018-2019) sits about $1,020 below the peer average.

Two equity notes stand out for families. Low-income students rank in the 83rd percentile — slightly above the school's overall standing — while the special education subgroup, steady at the 60th–61st percentile for two years, fell to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026, the weakest line in the file. Nearby results vary sharply: Aiea Elementary School, 0.61 miles away, ranks 191st of 203 with 28% ELA proficiency, while Salt Lake Elementary School posts 66% in science. Keep in mind that spending data is from 2018-2019 only, and absenteeism and staffing figures cover just the last two to three years.

This school is under a new Principal and he is awesome! Lots of great changes! You can tell he is really proactive and active in his current position (was vice principle before) Any bullying happening in the school and especially if they are notified, they handle it same day! Teachers are a hit and a miss, with majority of them great. I will say making sure you look over hw with you kids is a must because some teachers do not really check hw but only see if it was completed. So when quizzes/tests come around, this is when you really notice if your child is behind or not. Another great thing about this school is I like how there is a happy medium with school work and fun. Lots of field trips and learning about Hawaiian culture. 3rd Graders get to plant Loi (edible plant), 4th graders maintain and pick to eat (I may be wrong, my kids are telling me) Really fun for the kids. I have 2 kids that have been attending since 2013. I had a lot of concerns coming to the island, and even tried homeschooling a bit. But because of personal circumstances, I reenrolled them into Webling. I write this review now, because of the new principle in charge. I was always impressed by how interactive and engaged the principle was when he was vice principal. Very happy with this school!! Close Quote

We only had the pleasure of attending Webling for 5 months with our Kindergartener in Mrs. Tamaoka's room, but boy did we love it. It's the hidden gem. I can't say enough about how happy our son was and what a pleasure it was to have him go there. Great kids, great faculty and wonderful programs. He learned many Hawaiian songs and things that his sister in private k-2 didn't learn while in Hawaii. Close Quote
