Summary

Holomua Elementary School is a PK–6 campus at 91-1561 Keaunui Dr in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, serving 1,107 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, and it is one of the largest elementaries in its immediate area — second only to Ewa Elementary School. Statewide it ranks 54th of about 200 elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, its best showing in a decade. On current tests, 67% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 60% in Math, and 55% in Science, with scores rising every year on record in all three subjects.

Among ten nearby Ewa Beach, Kapolei, and Waipahu schools, Holomua ranks 4th of 11 in statewide percentile and scores about 15 points above the nearby average in ELA, 13 in Math, and 10 in Science. Kapolei Elementary School, Hookele Elementary School, and Keoneula Elementary School rank slightly higher but serve lower-poverty populations. Holomua's 35.59% free/reduced-lunch rate is below the nearby average, and it outperforms Ewa Beach Elementary School, which serves a similar share of low-income students, by 19 points in ELA and 24 in Math. Attendance is its sharpest edge: 11.0% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025, versus a nearby average near 23% and about 25% at Ewa Elementary School a mile away. Its student–teacher ratio is 14.9 and shrinking.

Results vary by student group. Pacific Islander students ranked 2nd of 115 statewide (98th percentile), with African American students and English Language Learners also well above state norms and low-income students at the 75th percentile. The clearest concern is special education: after two strong years, that group fell to the 26th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026 — an outlier worth asking the school about. A Hispanic subgroup figure is available for only one year (16th percentile) and should be treated cautiously.

One of the best elementary schools ever! The teachers have tons of heart, and the principal continues the school's proud tradition of excellence. My daughter attended this school from K-6 and is currently thriving at Ilima Intermediate School! Mahalo nui loa Holomua ohana! Close Quote
