Summary
Molokai High School is a public high school located in Hoolehua, Hawaii, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 332 students. The school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1 out of 1 in the state and rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Despite having access to significant funding and resources, with a per-student spending of $21,521, which is significantly higher than the state average, Molokai High School has been facing challenges in its academic performance. The school has consistently low proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with only 24% and 2% of students proficient or better, respectively, in 2024-2025. The school's performance in the HSA/Biology I assessment is also low, with only 17% of students proficient or better in the same year. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 89.1% in 2023-2024 to 83.0% in 2024-2025, though it remains above the state average.
Another area of concern for Molokai High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, with 34.0% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's diverse student population also shows uneven performance, with some subgroups, such as Asian, African American, and White students, performing exceptionally well, while others, such as Hispanic and Pacific Islander students, are performing relatively poorly. Addressing these issues and finding ways to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the school and the district.
