Summary:

While the school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Asian (41.83%) and Pacific Islander (34.6%) students, its overall performance has been relatively low. Over the past several years, Princess Miriam K Likelike Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Hawaii elementary schools, with a current ranking of 122 out of 207 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been below the state average, with only around 40-50% of students proficient or better in these subjects. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

However, the school stands out in its support for special education students. Princess Miriam K Likelike Elementary School ranks 58 out of 207 Hawaii elementary schools for its special education program, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. When compared to nearby schools, such as Kapalama Elementary School, which has significantly higher test scores and a higher school ranking, the differences in performance and demographics suggest that further investigation into the school's specific programs, teaching practices, and community engagement efforts could provide insights into how to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
