One of the biggest questions families ask before buying at Ho'opili is about the schools. As a growing master-planned community in Ewa Beach and East Kapolei, Ho'opili is part of the Campbell-Kapolei school complex and has plans for five new schools within the development. Here is what parents need to know about Ho'opili schools in 2026.

Current Schools Serving Ho'opili Students

As of 2026, Ho'opili students attend existing schools in the Campbell-Kapolei complex area. The primary schools currently serving Ho'opili families include:

Elementary Schools

Ho'okele Elementary School is one of the newer schools built to serve the growing Ewa and Ho'opili area. It opened in recent years and provides education for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The school is located within reasonable distance of many Ho'opili neighborhoods.

Kapolei Elementary School also serves students in the surrounding area, located at 91-1119 Kamaaha Loop in Kapolei. It covers kindergarten through fifth grade in the Campbell-Kapolei complex.

Middle School

Honouliuli Middle School is the middle school that serves many Ho'opili students. It was one of the newer schools built to accommodate the rapid growth in the Ewa and East Kapolei corridor. The school is conveniently located near the Ho'opili community.

High School

Kapolei High School serves high school students from Ho'opili, Kapolei, Barbers Point (Kalaeloa), Honokai Hale, Ko'Olina, and Makakilo. KHS opened in 2000 and maintains an enrollment of around 2,000 students. The school offers academies in Arts and Communications, Business, Health, Public and Human Services, Natural Resources, Building and Construction, and Engineering. Kapolei High also has a Marine Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program, which is relevant for military families in the area.

Planned Schools Within Ho'opili

Ho'opili's master plan includes five new schools ranging from pre-kindergarten through high school that will be built within the community as it continues to develop. Key planned additions include:

  • East Kapolei Elementary — Planned to open by the 2028-2029 school year
  • New high school — Planned for construction by 2028
  • Additional elementary and middle school facilities as the community grows

Having schools within walking distance of homes is a major selling point for families considering Ho'opili. As these schools come online, students will have shorter commutes and more options right in their own community.
