Summary

Halau Ku Mana - A New Century PCS is a small public charter secondary school in the Makiki Heights area of Honolulu, HI, serving 132 students in grades 6–12 as part of the Hawaii Department of Education.

The school’s recent statewide rank has been low: 61st of 65 in 2025-2026 and 58th of 62 in 2024-2025, after a stronger 36th of 67 in 2023-2024. Test proficiency in 2025-2026 was ELA 27%, math 10%, and science 12%; in 2024-2025 it was ELA 30%, math 7%, science 5%. By comparison, nearby schools such as Kalani High School (ELA 81%, math 58%, science 66%), Moanalua High School (70/30/40), and Admiral Arthur W Radford High School (63/34/46) score much higher, while Castle High School (51/8/33) and Hakipuu Academy (ELA 24%, science 7%, math not available) are mixed. The school’s strongest metric is its 92.0% graduation rate in 2024-2025, up from 73.3% and close to President Theodore Roosevelt High School (92%). Chronic absenteeism is 33.0%, much higher than Moanalua High School (11%), Admiral Arthur W Radford High School (13%), President Theodore Roosevelt High School (14%), and Kalani High School (16%). It has a 7.5 student-teacher ratio, smaller classes than most peers, and spent $9,491 per student in 2018-2019, less than most nearby schools. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 30.3%.

Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: low-income students rank 60th of 64 (6th percentile, 0 stars), English learners 51st of 59 (14th percentile, 0 stars), and special education students 56th of 67 (16th percentile, 1 star). The key question is whether the school can sustain its high graduation rate while reducing absenteeism and raising ELA, math, and science proficiency.
