The school has a diverse student population, with 46.92% White, 20.82% Hispanic, 13.78% Pacific Islander, and 17.6% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the state averages in recent years.

Haiku Elementary School's proficiency rates on the Smarter Balanced Assessments were 44.37% in ELA and 42.86% in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year, both below the state averages.

Additionally, the school has been ranked in the bottom half of Hawaii elementary schools in recent years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the academic performance concerns, Haiku Elementary School has access to adequate resources, with a per-student spending of $16,016 in the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 17:1 in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.6% in the 2023-2024 school year is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. The Hawaii Department of Education and the school's leadership should work collaboratively to implement strategies that address these concerns and support the academic success of all students at Haiku Elementary School.
