Summary:
ZIP code 96705 contains just one school: Eleele Elementary School, a PK–5 elementary school with 367 students in the Hawaii Department of Education. Because this is a single-school area, there is no local public comparison to make — Eleele Elementary is the only option listed here, and it is part of Hawaii's statewide district, so its district rank is structural rather than a comparison against other districts.
Eleele Elementary's results have trended downward in the most recent year. In 2023–2024 it ranked 91 of 207 (56th percentile, 3 stars), and in 2024–2025 it ranked 96 of 204 (53rd percentile, 3 stars). In 2025–2026 it fell to 140 of 203, the 31st percentile, and 2 stars — a 22 percentile-point drop in one year. Test scores moved the same way: ELA went from 54% to 43%, Math from 51% to 41%, and Science from 44% to 35%, declines of 9–11 percentage points each. Across both years, ELA was the strongest subject, Math was close behind, and Science was the weakest, with a gap of 8 percentage points between ELA and Science in 2025–2026. Notably, in 2025–2026 all three subjects fell below 50%, whereas ELA and Math had been above 50% the year before.
Context figures are available for 2024–2025: chronic absenteeism was 18%, meaning nearly one in five students was chronically absent; about 50.95% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch; and the student-teacher ratio was 14.1. Per-student spending was $16,393 in 2018–2019, a figure several years old that should not be used to judge current resources. Parents should keep in mind that this profile covers one school, only two years of test-score data, and single-year figures for attendance, lunch eligibility, and class size. The ranking trend is meaningful, but the data alone does not show what caused it.
