Summary

Aina Haina Elementary School is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 801 W Hind Dr in Honolulu, Hawaii, serving 351 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, the state's single statewide district — so the useful benchmark is its statewide elementary ranking, not a district rank.

For 2025–2026, Aina Haina ranks 41st of 203 Hawaii elementary schools (80th percentile) and holds 4 stars. That makes it a solidly above-average school, though not an elite one: ten years ago it reached the 93rd percentile, and over the last five years it has settled into the 77th–82nd range. Context matters here, because the surrounding neighborhood is unusually competitive — all ten comparable schools are within four miles, and six of them rank at the 90th percentile or higher statewide, including Waikiki Elementary School, Mayor John H Wilson Elementary School, Hokulani Elementary School and Kahala Elementary School. Within that local group, Aina Haina ranks 9th of 11.

Academically, math is the clearest area to watch: 56% of students tested proficient, which is 10th of 11 among nearby schools and roughly 12 points below the group median of 68%. The school's own gap between ELA (68%) and math (56%) is the widest in the peer group. Science, at 65%, is its relative bright spot and has risen steadily over three years. There is real good news on attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 20.4% to 13.0% in a single year, a substantial improvement. Notably, the school's resources don't explain its distance from top local schools — poverty is low (14.25% free/reduced lunch, second lowest in the group), class size (13.7 students per teacher) is exactly the peer median, and per-student spending ($16,423 in 2018–19) is above the peer median.
