Notably, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 77% is significantly higher than the state average of 50%.

While Kilauea Elementary School's academic achievements are commendable, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 28.0% in the 2024-2025 school year is an area that may require further attention and intervention. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 28.18% in the 2023-2024 school year, and its high spending per student of $16,927 in the 2018-2019 school year, may contribute to its academic success. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year is also a positive factor that may enable more personalized attention and support for students.
