Summary

Princess Miriam K Likelike Elementary School is a public elementary school in Honolulu, Hawaii, serving 253 students in grades PK-5. 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.

While the school has faced some challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 33.0% to 36.1% in recent years, it has shown signs of improvement. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, has been below the state average in recent years, but proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have increased from 2020-2021 to 2024-2025. The school's ranking among Hawaii elementary schools has also improved during this period, from 151st out of 196 schools in 2020-2021 to 102nd out of 204 schools in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Kapalama Elementary and Pauoa Elementary, Princess Miriam K Likelike Elementary School has faced greater challenges, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12:1 in 2023-2024 is lower than the nearby schools, indicating a potential focus on smaller class sizes. The school has also shown strength in supporting specific student subgroups, such as Pacific Islander students and Special Education students.
