Keaukaha Elementary School (KES), founded in September 1930, provides K-6 regular education and special educational services. KES also house the Hawaiian Language Immersion Program, Ka 'Umeke Ka'eo Public Charter School (formerly known as Kula Kaiapuni o Keaukaha).
More than ninety percent of KES students are of Hawaiian ancestry. KES is located in the heart of Hawaiian Homestead Lands. The Keaukaha community is one of the first two Hawaiian Homestead Lands established by the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act by Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole.
Facilities include eight main buildings, five of which are between fifty and seventy years old, and six portables. In the Fall of 2002, the new Kawananakoa Hall Gymnasium, adjacent to the school, was built replacing the original structure of many decades. Physical Education classes are held in the new gym. New playground equipment, constructed according to new physical education standards and safety codes, was dedicated in the Fall of 2004. A Department of Transportation/State of Hawai'i Air Conditioning project was completed in the Spring of 2004, affecting all main buildings and most of the portables. The Library also houses the school's computer lab. Every classroom is computer/internet ready, online with a Local Area Network that connects KES with the world.
