Summary

Aiea High School is a public high school in Aiea, Hawaii, serving roughly 865 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Hawaii Department of Education. Its statewide SchoolDigger rank has fluctuated in recent years: it placed 29th of 65 schools (55th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, down from 14th of 62 (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, following stronger years such as 2022–2023 (15th of 53, 72nd percentile, 4 stars).

Aiea is smaller than most nearby comprehensive high schools. Its 865 students compare with 1,481 at Pearl City High School, 1,966 at Moanalua High School, 2,382 at Mililani High School and 2,538 at Waipahu High School. Its student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is relatively favorable — among nearby schools only President William McKinley High School (13.9) is lower — and it reported the highest per-student spending of the nearby group in 2018–2019 ($16,459), though that figure is dated. About 48.79% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, well above Admiral Arthur W Radford High School (20.7%), Moanalua (24.31%) and Pearl City (28.36%), which is worth keeping in mind when comparing outcomes.

In 2025–2026, proficiency was 55% in English Language Arts, 24% in Mathematics and 28% in Biology I. ELA is above McKinley and Governor Wallace Rider Farrington High School (both 52%), but math is tied with McKinley and ahead of only Farrington (18%), and Biology I (28%) is the lowest reported among nearby Biology I results. Math slipped from 33% and Biology from 42% the year before. Graduation was 89.0% in 2024–2025 — mid-range among neighbors — while chronic absenteeism of 28.0% is high, exceeded only by McKinley (34.0%) and up from 25.8%. Aiea's standout strength is its work with English Language Learners, ranked 3rd of 29 statewide (90th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026 and 2nd of 33 (94th percentile, 5 stars) the year before; Pacific Islander students also improved to 6th of 32 (81st percentile, 4 stars). Results for other student groups are more uneven, and attendance, math and biology look like the biggest opportunities.
