DreamHouse Ewa Beach

Q: Is DreamHouse Ewa Beach a good school?

DreamHouse Ewa Beach ranks 63 rd of 89 Hawaii middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

DreamHouse Ewa Beach is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-10 in Kapolei, Hawaii, with a diverse student population. While part of the highly-ranked Hawaii Department of Education district, DreamHouse Ewa Beach has consistently underperformed compared to nearby middle schools.

According to the latest data, DreamHouse Ewa Beach ranks 63rd out of 89 Hawaii middle schools and received only 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts (35.74%), Mathematics (14.53%), and Biology I (17.61%) are significantly lower than state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Major Sheldon Wheeler Middle School and Aliamanu Middle School. Additionally, DreamHouse Ewa Beach has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.3%, which could be a contributing factor to its underperformance.

While the school's relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 18.85% suggests that socioeconomic factors may not be the primary driver of its underperformance, further investigation into the school's practices, resources, and student support systems may be warranted to identify areas for improvement and better support student success.

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.
