Kaaawa Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science, where its 5th grade proficiency rate was significantly higher than the state average. The school's diverse student population, with a majority of Pacific Islander and multi-racial students, is also noteworthy.

Kaaawa Elementary has seen its ranking and rating improve over the past three years, suggesting the school is making progress and moving in a positive direction. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and high per-student spending of $17,250 in the 2018-2019 school year may contribute to its academic success.

Overall, Hawaii Department of Education's Kaaawa Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school, with a diverse student population, solid academic results, and a commitment to supporting student learning. While the chronic absenteeism rate is an area that warrants further attention and improvement, the school's overall performance and progress are noteworthy.
