Summary

Aiea Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Aiea, Hawaii, with 288 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 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Despite being located in a high-performing school district, Aiea Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state average and nearby schools on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 31.76% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50%. In math, only 16.45% were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 48%. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, with 30.1% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024 and 31% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the 8-18% range of nearby schools.

Aiea Elementary School's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well but Pacific Islander and English Language Learner students performing very poorly.

Despite these challenges, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from 170th out of 193 Hawaii elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 194th out of 204 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend of worsening academic outcomes.
