Summary

Halau Ku Mana - A New Century PCS is a public charter high school serving grades 5-12 in Honolulu, Hawaii, with a student population of 125. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Hawaii Department of Education district, it faces several challenges in terms of academic performance.

One notable strength of Halau Ku Mana is its improved 4-year graduation rate, which increased from 73.3% in 2023-2024 to 92.0% in 2024-2025, outperforming nearby schools like Olomana School (57.0%) and Hakipuu Academy (59.0%). However, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate, at 33.0% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the nearby Admiral Arthur W Radford High School (13.0%) and Moanalua High School (11.0%).

Academically, Halau Ku Mana's test scores are generally lower than the state and nearby school averages, with only 30% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 7% in Mathematics, and 5% in Science in 2024-2025. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking highly for Pacific Islander students but struggling with English Language Learners and Special Education students. While the school's unique curriculum and approach may contribute to these challenges, continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help Halau Ku Mana reach its full potential and better serve its diverse student population.
