Hawaii State Assessment (HSA) Proficiencies for 2011-12: 91% Reading, 84% Math.

We are focused on student achievement.  Our HSA proficiency percentages consistently rank among the top public schools in the State.  Besides HSA, we are also committed to providing a comprehensive well-rounded education to develop respectful, responsible, resourceful, and resilient student leaders.

Koko Head School represented Hawaii in the 2011 National Blue Ribbon Schools Program as a high performing school.

We are one of three schools from the State of Hawaii to receive this distinction.  We credit the entire Koko Head Elementary School Ohana, past and present, for this honor.

Our school is part of the Kaiser Complex of the Honolulu District in the State of Hawaii Department of Education.

All the Kaiser Complex schools are committed to providing a World Class Education for our community.

The Kaiser Complex includes:
Koko Head Elementary, Aina Haina Elementary, Hahaione Elementary, Kamiloiki Elementary, Niu Valley Middle School & Henry J. Kaiser High School

Educator Roy Sakuma addressed our 2nd-5th graders to impart anti-bullying messages and to encourage our students to communicate with their parents and adults at our school if they are feeling hurt inside.  Mahalo Mr. Sakuma for spending time with our students!

Thank you for supporting our 2013 Cobra Chase that was held on Friday, February 15, 2013.  This year we increased the lengths of the laps and our students still sprinted, jogged, and walked with great enthusiasm and energy.  We would like to thank our parents, extended `ohana, and other community supporters for their involvement and support.  Thanks to you, we were able to raise over $26,000 for our parent group for the purpose of funding a new playground.  Go Cobras!

Artist Steve Barton came to our campus through the generosity of the Tabora Gallery and vision of our Student Council President.   Mr. Barton involved all of our classes in painting a large mural on one of the walls of our buildings.  Mr. Barton currently resides in San Diego, California.

Thank you to all who came out to support our 4th and 5th graders as they performed a rendition of “The Mikado” on January 17, 2013!  The Mikado opera performance was a collaboration between the Hawaii Opera Theatre (HOT) and Koko Head Elementary and was funded by a generous grant from the Tateuchi Foundation.  Congratulations students and teachers on a job well done.  We extend a heartfelt mahalo to HOT for mentoring and guiding our students and for helping our students shine.

We conducted a school-wide lockdown drill today at about 9:30AM.   The drill lasted about 25 minutes.  We anticipate doing more lockdown drills this semester and are looking at various systems to communicate with our parents/families in the event we have to do a real lockdown.

Good luck to our students who will be participating in the upcoming Honolulu District Spelling Bee held at Sacred Hearts Academy on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 2:00PM.  There will be a total of 34 students competing in the spelling bee representing public and private schools including:  Central Middle School , Damien Memorial School , Holy Nativity School, Iolani School, Jefferson Elementary School, Kalakaua Middle School, Pauoa Elementary School, Sacred Hearts Academy, Saint Anthony School, Saint Francis School, Saint Louis School, Saint Patrick School, Saint Theresa School, Star of the Sea Elementary School, Stevenson Middle School, and Washington Middle School.  Good luck cobras!

Thank you to the Koko Head Elementary and Koko Kai Community volunteers who lent a hand at our School Beautification Day on Saturday, December 8thOur school roundabout was refreshed with new paint and now features a crosswalk to help ensure safe dropoff and pickup experiences for our students.  We also collected almost 1000 pounds of debris from the swale to help protect our neighboring Maunalua Bay.  Mahalo for all of your hard word and commitment to our school and community!
