Best Public Schools in Zip Code 96782

Summary:

The 96782 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Hawaii Department of Education district. This area is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that have consistently earned high rankings and ratings.

Momilani Elementary School is the top-performing school in the area, ranked #1 out of 195 Hawaii elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years. It boasts the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (84%) and Mathematics (82%) across all grades. Palisades Elementary School and Pearl City Highlands School also stand out, with 5-star and 4-star ratings, respectively, and strong proficiency rates.

While the schools in this area generally have high spending per student, ranging from $14,317 to $18,424, there are some equity concerns. Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Lehua Elementary School and Pearl City Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores compared to their higher-performing counterparts. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may contribute to a school's performance, and addressing potential equity issues could be an area of focus for the district.
