Summary

Princess Victoria Kaiulani Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 783 North King St in Honolulu, Hawaii, serving 244 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, the state's single statewide district.

In 2025–2026, the school ranked 182nd out of 203 Hawaii elementary schools, placing in the 10th percentile with 1 star — down from the 20th percentile in 2023–2024. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 32% in English Language Arts, 26% in Math, and 22% in Science, compared with nearby averages of 48.0%, 47.2%, and 51.3%. Math and Science were the lowest among nearby schools with reported data, and the Science gap was 29.3 points. For comparison, Maemae Elementary School reached the 91st percentile statewide, Lanakila Elementary School the 76th, and Kapalama Elementary School the 62nd.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest difference from neighboring schools: 36.0% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, higher than every nearby school in the comparison group and well above the nearby average of 23.7%. Poverty is high here too — 78.69% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch — but not uniquely so: Kauluwela Elementary School (88.77%) and Puuhale Elementary School (84.52%) serve higher-poverty populations, and Puuhale posted higher proficiency in all three subjects. Resources do not appear to be the main constraint: the student–teacher ratio of 12.2 is more favorable than the nearby average of 13.17, and 2018–2019 per-student spending of $18,513 was slightly above the nearby average of $17,829. English Language Learner and low-income students have ranked in the lower percentiles for school effectiveness in recent years. Attendance, Math and Science achievement, and support for these groups look like the school's biggest opportunities for improvement.
