Summary

Aliamanu Elementary School is a PK–6 public school at 3265 Salt Lake Blvd in the Salt Lake/Aliamanu area of Honolulu, serving about 650 students as part of the statewide Hawaii Department of Education. In 2025-2026 it ranked 31st of 203 Hawaii elementary schools — the 85th percentile and a 4-star rating, placing it in the top roughly 15% of elementary schools statewide.

That standing is not a one-year fluke. Aliamanu has earned 4 stars in every year reported and has climbed from the 73rd–76th percentile in the mid-2010s to the low-to-mid 80s since 2020-2021, moving from about 50th place to the low 30s. Its latest results are 65% proficient in English language arts, 65% in mathematics, and 69% in science. Science is the standout: it is the school's highest-scoring subject and the only one that improved year over year (65% to 69%), while ELA and math each slipped from the prior year. Those dips are worth watching but modest — the school's rank barely moved, and a single year is within normal variation.

Among the 10 nearby elementary schools, Aliamanu ranks second only to Moanalua Elementary School, and it outperforms the peer average by roughly 6 points in ELA, 11 in math, and 14 in science. It achieves this with the second-largest classes in the group (16.6 students per teacher) and below-average per-student spending, suggesting results are driven by instructional quality rather than resources. Two things families should note: chronic absenteeism, at 16.0%, is the third-highest in the group and rose from 14.7% — the opposite direction of its falling poverty rate — and special-education students, though improving sharply, remain the school's weakest subgroup at the 61st percentile. Low-income students, by contrast, rank at the 94th percentile, higher than the school's overall standing.

Teachers of my 2nd grader and Kindergartener were wonderful, however the administration leaves much to be desired. For the amount of funding the school receives due to military students, very few classroom tools/manipulatives are available. Additional resources to implement IEP/special requirements are extremely difficult to get implemented even when required by law. 24 students in my 2nd graders classroom this year. The rumor is that the school is to be getting an additional 300 students for the 09-10 school year and class sizes will drastically increase! Close Quote
