Summary

Princess Victoria Kaiulani Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Honolulu, Hawaii, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 256 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.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Princess Victoria Kaiulani Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Hawaii elementary schools over the past 10 years, with rankings ranging from 165 to 189 out of 193-207 schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Special Education students performing relatively well, while African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and English Language Learner students all rank in the bottom 30-40% of their respective subgroups. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, with 35.8% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, Princess Victoria Kaiulani Elementary School consistently underperforms. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Lanakila Elementary School, located just 0.56 miles away, had significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA (53.55%), Math (55.13%), and Science (58.21%), as well as a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (18%). While the school's funding and student-teacher ratio do not appear to be the primary drivers of these issues, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor.
