Summary

Aiea Intermediate School is a public middle school in Aiea, Hawaii serving grades 7–8 with 470 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, and it has ranked among the top quarter of Hawaii middle schools for most of the past decade.

In 2025–26, Aiea ranked 16th of 85 middle schools — the 81st percentile, with 4 stars — after placing 21st of 84 (75th percentile) the year before and 15th of 89 (83rd percentile) in 2023–24, so the recent path is strong with a dip and rebound. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 61% in English Language Arts, 50% in Math, and 41% in Science. ELA and Math have climbed steadily since 2022–23, when they stood at 54% and 37%. Science is the clearest gap: it fell from 51.22% in 2023–24 to 40% and then 41%, and trails nearly every nearby school, including Waipahu Intermediate School (53%), Highlands Intermediate School (57%), and Moanalua Middle School (72%). Aiea's ELA is tied with Aliamanu Middle School and slightly above Waipahu and Prince David Kawananakoa Middle School, while its Math results (50%) beat Waipahu (40%) and Aliamanu (46%).

Context matters here. Aiea's free/reduced lunch rate of 52.13% is higher than Moanalua, Highlands, Aliamanu, and Kulia Academy, yet it still produces solid results and far outperforms higher-poverty neighbors like Princess Ruth Keelikolani Middle School, Governor Sanford B Dole Middle School, and King David Kalakaua Middle School. Chronic absenteeism improved from 19.9% to 17.0%, better than most nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is among the lowest in the area. Subgroup results are generally solid — 75th percentile for low-income students and 65th for English language learners — but special education stands at the 30th percentile, down from 46th and 73rd in prior years, making it the key area to watch.
