Summary:

Aiea Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 289 students in grades PK-6 in Aiea, Hawaii. 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.

While Aiea Elementary School is part of a highly-ranked district, the school itself has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Hawaii elementary schools, receiving a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments and HSA Science, is significantly lower than nearby schools like Waimalu Elementary, Red Hill Elementary, and Pearl Harbor Kai Elementary. For example, in 2022-2023, Aiea Elementary's ELA proficiency rate was 31%, compared to 53-66% at the nearby schools, and its math proficiency rate was 16%, compared to 41-77% at the nearby schools.

Aiea Elementary School also faces challenges with a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.1% and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (around 75%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students at Aiea Elementary School.

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.
