Summary

Keoneula Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving about 900 students in the Ewa Beach community on Oahu's leeward side, part of the Hawaii Department of Education, the state's single statewide school district.

For 2025–2026, Keoneula ranked 42nd of 203 Hawaii elementary schools — the 79th percentile, with a 4-star rating. That is a step down from 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, when it ranked 28th of 207 and 29th of 204, both at the 86th percentile, though still far above its 2015–2016 baseline of 124th of 195. Proficiency in 2025–2026 was 68% in English Language Arts, 58% in Math, and 62% in Science, down from 73%, 65%, and 66% the year before. Among nearby schools, Keoneula is the strongest performer in its immediate cluster, outranking Ewa Beach Elementary School (0.67 miles away, 142nd), Kaimiloa Elementary School (0.79 miles, 132nd), Pohakea Elementary School (0.93 miles, 78th), and Holomua Elementary School (1.09 miles, 54th). Only Kapolei Elementary School and Hookele Elementary School rank higher among close-by schools, along with Lt Col Horrace Meek Hickam Elementary School at 3rd statewide. Math is a relative weak spot: Keoneula's 58% sits below Hookele (65%), Kapolei (63%), and Holomua (60%).

Chronic absenteeism improved from 20.1% to 16.0%, the fourth-lowest rate among nearby schools, though higher than Hookele (12%) and Holomua (11%). Keoneula's English Language Learner students ranked 5th of 116 schools statewide (96th percentile), and Pacific Islander students ranked 4th of 115 (97th percentile) — among the best results in Hawaii. The school achieves these outcomes with the lowest per-student spending among nearby schools with data ($14,110 in 2018–2019) and a 16:1 student-teacher ratio, suggesting efficient operations. Overall, Keoneula is a top-quartile Hawaii elementary school with a strong decade-long trajectory; the main watch items are the recent one-year score dip and the Math gap.
