Summary:
ZIP code 96756 has exactly one public school, Koloa Elementary School, serving grades PK–5 with 355 students in the Hawaii Department of Education, and no middle, high, or alternative schools are listed in this ZIP code.
For parents, the key academic picture is stable and mid-pack. Koloa Elementary School earned 3 stars in each of the last three reported years. In 2025–2026 it ranked 92 of 203 schools, with a percentile of 55; in 2024–2025 it ranked 98 of 204, percentile 52; and in 2023–2024 it ranked 93 of 207, percentile 55. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 56%, ELA was 51%, and science was 48%. Math and science both improved by 4 points from the prior year, when math was 52% and science was 44%, while ELA stayed flat at 51%. Math is the strongest subject, and science remains the lowest, though science uses a different assessment (HSA) than ELA and math (Smarter Balanced Assessments).
Important context includes chronic absenteeism at 25.0% and free/reduced lunch eligibility at 57.46%, both for 2024–2025. The student-teacher ratio is 15.4:1, and the only per-student spending figure is $16,970 from 2018–2019, which is too old to describe current funding. Because 96756 has no public middle or high school, older students likely continue elsewhere. District rankings are not useful here: the Hawaii Department of Education is 1 of 1 district with 0 percentile and 5 stars, so there is no peer comparison.
