Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 39 teachers, Pearl Harbor Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Pearl Harbor Elementary School, located on the historic Moanalua Ridge in Honolulu, serves a unique student population primarily composed of children from military families stationed at nearby Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Because of its location, the school operates within the Hawaii State Department of Education system while maintaining a strong cultural and operational connection to the military community. The school prides itself on fostering a supportive environment that addresses the specific needs of "military-impacted" students, including the social-emotional challenges often associated with frequent relocations and parental deployments.

The school is well-regarded for its commitment to academic excellence and its integration of place-based learning, which leverages its unique location in Hawaii. Faculty and staff emphasize a curriculum that balances rigorous state standards with a focus on community building and character development. By utilizing its scenic campus on the ridge, the school provides an enriching educational atmosphere that encourages students to connect with their local environment while preparing them for success in a global, mobile society.
