Summary

Kapolei Charter School by Goodwill Hawaii is a small public charter high school serving grades 9–12 in Kapolei, on Oahu’s leeward side, with 138 students and part of the Hawaii Department of Education. Its most recent standing is 56th of 65 high schools for 2025–2026—14th percentile, 1 star—after 2023–2024 peak of 35th of 67 (48th percentile, 3 stars). It is the smallest school among nearby high schools, where enrollment ranges from 467 students at DreamHouse Ewa Beach to 2,890 at James Campbell High School.

Recent academics are challenging. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 36% in English Language Arts, 8% in Mathematics, and 19% in Biology I. Math is the lowest among nearby schools; ELA is below the nearby average, though above Nanakuli High & Intermediate School (33%) and near DreamHouse Ewa Beach (38%). The graduation rate was 80.0% in 2024–2025, down from 85.0%, and chronic absenteeism was 30.0%, improved from 36.1% but still above the nearby average. The school also had the highest student-teacher ratio (19.7) among nearby schools and reported $8,458 per-student spending in 2018–2019, far below nearby schools’ $14,669–$18,806. Its free/reduced lunch rate, 24.64%, is lower than many neighbors. Compared with Kapolei High School, it posts lower ELA (36% vs 51%), math (8% vs 28%), Biology I (19% vs 34%), and graduation (80% vs 88%), with higher absenteeism (30% vs 23%), despite lower poverty and much lower reported per-student spending.

The school’s 2025–2026 results mark a notable decline from 2023–2024, when ELA was 52.78% and Biology I was 23.33%. In 2023–2024, some student groups ranked very high—Special Education students were 3rd of 67, 96th percentile, 5 stars—while low-SES students ranked 55th of 64 (14th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. Because the school has only 138 students, year-to-year swings can be large, and a few students can move percentages several points. Resource constraints may play a role, but the data cannot prove cause and effect. Overall, the school is a very small high school with a challenging recent academic profile, improved attendance, and significant gaps in math, ELA, graduation, and absenteeism compared with many nearby schools.
