Summary:

Zip code 96707 is home to eight public schools serving the Kapolei and Ewa Beach communities — five elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools, one of which (DreamHouse Ewa Beach) actually spans grades 6–12. All belong to the Hawaii Department of Education, and together they enroll about 5,945 students. Kapolei High School is by far the largest, with 1,836 students (roughly 31% of the ZIP), while Makakilo Elementary School is the smallest at 454.

The ZIP has a strong academic core. Hookele Elementary School is the best-balanced performer, leading in math (65%) and science (69%), with the lowest chronic absenteeism (12%) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (27.48%). Kapolei Elementary School posts the highest ELA proficiency (71%), plus math 63% and science 62%, even though its free/reduced lunch rate (43.98%) and absenteeism (24%) are higher — a clear example of academic resilience. Kapolei Middle School is the middle-school standout, ranking 19 of 85 middle schools with ELA 57%, math 41%, and science 48%.

At the other end, Barbers Point Elementary School faces the most stacked challenges: the lowest elementary ELA (35%), math (27%), and science (25%), plus the highest absenteeism (42%), highest free/reduced lunch (68.77%), and highest student-teacher ratio (15.8). DreamHouse Ewa Beach has the lowest math (17%) and science (14%) in the ZIP despite the smallest class sizes (10.9 ratio). Kapolei High School sits mid-range (ELA 51%, math 28%, Biology I 34%) with a solid 88.0% graduation rate. Notably, spending and class size do not line up simply with results across these schools.
