Summary:
The Pearl City CUSD 200 district has only one elementary school, Pearl City Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some bright spots in 6th grade but concerns about equity and effective resource utilization across all grade levels.
While Pearl City Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics vary significantly by grade level. The 6th grade students perform significantly better than the state and district averages, but the lower grades struggle to match these high levels of proficiency. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate is lower than the state average.
The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, raising questions about equity and the school's ability to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. Despite these challenges, the school's statewide ranking has remained relatively stable over the past three school years, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating that its performance has not seen significant improvements or declines during this period.
