How Haiku Elementary School compares with Hawaii and U.S. medians
What stands out at Haiku Elementary School
Haiku Elementary School is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Haiku, Hawaii, enrolling 336 students.
Class loads run heavy: 16.8:1 is larger than about 88% of Hawaii schools and 19% above the 14.1:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 42.8% lands close to the Hawaii typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 336 puts it in the smaller third of Hawaii schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 91% of the 295 Hawaii schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 56 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Hawaii schools statewide, it ranks #48, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by White (45%) and Hispanic or Latino (22%) (diversity index 70/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 336 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 73.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Hawaii Department of Education also operates James Campbell High School (2,890 students) and Waipahu High School (2,538 students) alongside Haiku Elementary School.
