Summary

Hahaione Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in the Hawaii Kai area of Honolulu, HI, serving 475 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education. In 2025–26 it ranks 30th of 203 elementary schools statewide—85th percentile, 4 stars. It has been top-quartile in nine of ten reported years, dipped to 65th percentile in 2023–24, and recovered to 89th then 85th. Locally, it sits in a tight three-school cluster: Koko Head Elementary School (86th percentile) and Kamiloiki Elementary School (90th) are separated from Hahaione by just five rank positions, and all three post similar ELA proficiency (70–72%).

Beyond test scores, Hahaione stands out for low poverty and strong attendance: 11.8% free/reduced lunch and 10.0% chronic absenteeism, down from 11.9%. That absenteeism rate is third-lowest in the comparison set, behind only Mayor John H Wilson Elementary School (6.0%) and Kahala Elementary School (8.0%). Class sizes are tighter than most at 13.1 students per teacher, compared with Koko Head Elementary School (14.6), Kamiloiki Elementary School (14.5), and Wilson (13.5). Per-pupil spending was $14,421 in the only year reported (2018–19), lower than every other traditional district school in the comparison set—though that figure is dated and largely reflects Title I need rather than instructional investment.

Academically, parents should watch two trends. ELA has improved about 14 points over three years (57.93 → 71 → 72), but science has become the soft spot: after reaching 72 in 2024–25, it fell to 60 in 2025–26, now 12 points below ELA and behind Koko Head Elementary School (62) and Kamiloiki Elementary School (71). Math slipped in 2025–26 to 67, five points behind ELA and below Koko Head Elementary School's 69. For comparison, Mayor John H Wilson Elementary School clearly outranks Hahaione—95th percentile, 5 stars, and higher proficiency in ELA (78), math (76), and science (74). Special education students improved dramatically, from 14th percentile (2023–24) to 41st (2024–25) to 70th, 4 stars (2025–26); low-SES students were at 72nd percentile, 4 stars, in 2025–26. Overall, Hahaione is a stable, high-performing, low-poverty school with excellent attendance and efficient resource use; its priorities are the science decline and math slip.
