Summary

Honouliuli Middle School is a public middle school located in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 814 students. The school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1 out of 1 in the state and rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While the school is part of a highly-ranked district, Honouliuli Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools in academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 46 out of 84 Hawaii middle schools, with only 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 25% in Mathematics, and 34% in Science. This is significantly lower than the top-performing nearby schools like Mililani Middle School and Major Sheldon Wheeler Middle School, which had proficiency rates over 60% in these subjects. Additionally, Honouliuli Middle School struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, ranking 14 out of 15 Hawaii middle schools for African American students and 54 out of 59 for Special Education students.

Honouliuli Middle School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with 20.0% of students chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the nearby schools. While the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 44.84% in the 2023-2024 school year, this is lower than some nearby schools. The proximity to higher-performing schools in the area suggests that students in Ewa Beach have access to better educational options, and addressing the root causes of Honouliuli Middle School's challenges, such as student engagement and school climate, could be crucial in improving student outcomes.
