Summary

Mililani Ike Elementary School is a PK–5 public school serving 409 students in Mililani, HI (96789), part of the Hawaii Department of Education, the state's single statewide district, and it currently stands as the top-ranked elementary school in Hawaii.

That ranking is not a one-year blip. In 2025–2026, Mililani Ike ranked 1st of 203 Hawaii elementaries, at the 100th percentile with 5 stars, and across ten reported years it has never finished outside the top 3% of the state while earning 5 stars every year. Its proficiency is in a different tier from nearby schools: 91% in ELA, 91% in math, and 94% in science, compared with a median of roughly 61% in ELA and about 60% in math among the ten nearest schools. Even Mililani Mauka Elementary School, the closest neighbor at 1.14 miles and itself a 5-star, 98th-percentile school, trails Mililani Ike by 12 points in ELA, 9 in math, and 8 in science. Subgroup results point the same direction: in 2025–2026 the school ranked 1st of 202 statewide for its low-income students and 1st of 155 for its special education students.

Attendance and resources round out the picture. Chronic absenteeism was 6.0% in 2024–2025 — about a third of the roughly 17% nearby average — and improved from 10.3% the year before. The free/reduced-price lunch share is 10.51%, versus roughly 44% among nearby schools. Per-student spending of $16,013 (2018–19 data, the most recent shown) is below six of ten neighbors, and the student–teacher ratio of 14.1 is ordinary for the area, yet several nearby schools that spend more and have smaller classes post lower proficiency. A couple of smaller subgroups, including English Language Learners, rank below the school's otherwise elite profile; those are single-year snapshots and would still be above-average outcomes at most schools.

Open Quote This school has a beautiful new, well designed facility. The office staff and teachers I have come in contact with are friendly and caring. My child (not a top student) has made remarkable progress at this school. Close Quote

Open Quote As a former student at this school, I can say first hand this is not a good school. Favoritism is a huge problem at Ike, and it goes completely unchecked. Teachers and staff are allowed to basically bully students and get away with it just because the test scores are pretty high. However, what many fail to see is that test scores do not completely define a school. The academically inclined students are the ones who will tell you how much they love coming to school at Ike. For those who were average to below average like myself, chances are they will not want to come to school at all. All Ike will do for the below average kids is just drop them off in a SpEd class. That is why Ike has such a big SpEd population. As said earlier, counseling services are completely ineffective. Bullying awareness at this school is near nonexistent and bullying goes nearly completely unchecked on the campus. When the kids get a little loud during lunch time, the principal would order them out of the cafeteria and would make them sit on the hot pavement for the rest of the lunch period as punishment for their actions. Terrible school, please reconsider sending your kids here. Close Quote

Open Quote This is the best public school we have experienced; I finally feel like my tax dollars are hard at work! I am proud that my daughter has attended this school for the past two years. They have provided her with all the tools to succeed in class. The teachers are of higher quality and more professional than another school my daughter attended in the state of Hawaii and a public school she attended in Virginia. There is a wide range of technology used at this school and the use of the internet is encouraged but also monitored. The library is the jewel of this school and the afterschool activities are soooo awesome. The principle doesn't tolerate bullying from the students or the teachers and the well being of the children is her top priority. One of my neighbors moved into the neighborhood a year ago because her son has special needs and her experience with this school's special needs program this year has been stellar. I believe that my son may have special needs as well and I look forward to when he will have the privilege of attending in fall of 2016. Close Quote

Open Quote The teachers can be really mean to the students. Always yelling, belittling and just not patient at all. Close Quote

Open Quote Mililani Ike is one of the most overrated schools on the island. While yes, they do have good test scores, let's not forget about what goes on outside the classroom. Favortism is a very big problem here. Only the smartest and kids willing to kiss up are those who are treated well. Those who are slower learners will generally be put into a special education classroom. Have a socially awkward kid? That can mean mandatory "counseling." All except for one, the counsellors are terrible. They scream, shout, scold and generally put down and bully the kids. Close Quote

Open Quote My youngest daughter attended Mililani Ike for four years, from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I had end older daughter who has attended three other schools in three different states. Two of those schools were just okay and one was considered excellent. However, I must say Mililani Ike beats all of them in every area. The parents or grandparents are frequently involved and the school makes it very easy for them to be involved. The education is fantastic and our experience with teachers has been amazing! This is one of the best schools on the island of Oahu, if not the best in my opinion. The library is superb! The field trips are always fun and educational and there are plenty of volunteer opportunities. Ike teaches Trustworthiness, respect, and responsibility. We were very sad to leave due to my husband's job. Close Quote
