Summary

Hokulani Elementary School is a small PK–5 school at 2940 Kamakini St in Honolulu, Hawaii, serving 280 students as part of the statewide Hawaii Department of Education.

Hokulani is one of Hawaii’s top-performing elementary schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 15th of 203 Hawaii elementary schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and it has held a 5-star rating in eight of the last ten reported years, never finishing outside the top 25 statewide since 2015–16. Locally, it ranks 4th of 11 nearby schools, behind Waikiki Elementary School, Noelani Elementary School, and King Liholiho Elementary School. Its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch rate of 16.43% is the lowest in its comparison group, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.0% is tied for the lowest. Yet 2025–26 proficiency dipped: ELA fell from 79 to 74, math from 77 to 65, and science from 85 to 77. Math remains the relative weak point—65 trails Waikiki (78), Noelani (73), Aliiolani Elementary School (71), and King Liholiho (71)—though Hokulani still runs well above the nearby average in all subjects.

Hokulani posts strong results in several student groups, including low-income students (7th of 202, 97th percentile in 2025–26), English Language Learners (11th of 116, 91st), and special education students (12th of 207, 94th in 2023–24). It does this while spending $15,040 per student in the only reported year, the second-lowest in the comparison set. One trend to watch: the student–teacher ratio rose from 11.3 in 2022–23 to 14.7 in 2024–25—a roughly 30% increase in two years—moving it from the smallest class load nearby to third-highest, behind Noelani Elementary School (16.8) and Waikiki Elementary School (15.3). For parents, Hokulani Elementary School remains a very strong choice with elite outcomes, low poverty, and excellent attendance, but the recent multi-subject dip and rising class sizes are worth monitoring.
