Summary:
ZIP code 96762 covers Laie, Hawaii, and has only one public school: Laie Elementary School, a PK–6 elementary campus with 662 students in the Hawaii Department of Education. Because this ZIP has one elementary school and no middle, high, or alternative schools, there are no local comparisons between campuses or grade bands; parents can focus on this one school’s record.
Academically, Laie Elementary has been a consistently above-average school in the provided statewide rank history. It earned 4 stars in each of the last three reported years, ranking 27th of 207 schools (87th percentile) in 2023–2024, 61st of 204 (70th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 40th of 203 (80th percentile) in 2025–2026. Test proficiency shows ELA flat at 64% across 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, math slipping slightly from 68% to 66%, and science improving from 51% to 61%—a 10-point gain. In 2025–2026, math remained the strongest subject at 66%, followed by ELA at 64% and science at 61%.
Other context is important for families. Chronic absenteeism was 20.0% in 2024–2025, meaning about one in five students was chronically absent, and 55.14% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch. The student-teacher ratio was 16.5, and the only per-student spending figure available is $15,421 from 2018–2019, so it should be treated as historical rather than current. The district record lists Hawaii Department of Education as rank 1 of 1 with 5 stars and percentile 0; since there is only one district in the ranking, those district comparative figures are not meaningful. Overall, Laie Elementary stands out for stable 4-star performance, an 80th-percentile rank in 2025–2026, and recent science improvement, while attendance and economic need are key supports to watch.
