Haiku Elementary School's ranking and rating have remained relatively consistent over the past three school years, with the school ranking 129 out of 195 Hawaii elementary schools and receiving a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's high percentage of students (52.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may impact academic outcomes and require additional resources and support.
