Summary:
The city of Hoolehua, Hawaii is home to two public schools - Molokai High School and Molokai Middle School, both of which serve students from grades 7-12 and are part of the Hawaii Department of Education district. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both struggle with low statewide rankings, poor test scores, and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to state averages.
Molokai High School has ranked between 43rd and 57th out of 62-67 Hawaii high schools in recent years, with a 0-2 star rating out of 5. The school's four-year graduation rate was 83.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 34.0%. Molokai Middle School has ranked between 33rd and 59th out of 73-89 Hawaii middle schools, with a 2-3 star rating out of 5.

Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts, Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics, and HSA/Science/Biology I compared to state averages. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 70% and 80% at Molokai High School and Molokai Middle School, respectively.
