Summary:

Nanaikapono Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Waianae, Hawaii, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 730 students. The school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1 out of 1 in the state and rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Nanaikapono Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Hawaii elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 184-202 out of 207 schools over the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 20% proficiency in ELA and 11% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 49-55% and 39-52%, respectively. The school's proficiency rate in the Hawaii State Assessment (HSA) for Science is also very low, at only 9.8%, compared to the state average of 46%. Additionally, Nanaikapono Elementary School has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 57.1%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools and the state average.

In comparison, the nearby schools, such as Barbers Point Elementary, Hookele Elementary, and Kapolei Elementary, generally perform much better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The high chronic absenteeism rate and the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates, may be contributing factors to Nanaikapono Elementary School's academic challenges. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in improving the school's outcomes and providing its students with the best possible educational opportunities.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
