Summary

Kapolei Charter School by Goodwill Hawaii is a public charter high school serving 138 students in grades 9-12 in Kapolei, Hawaii. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Hawaii Department of Education district, it has struggled academically compared to nearby high-performing public high schools like Mililani High School and Moanalua High School.

Kapolei Charter School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Biology are significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 85% to 80% in recent years, which is below the performance of nearby high-achieving schools. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30% to 36.1% in recent years.

While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and Special Education students performing exceptionally well, other subgroups like Pacific Islander and Hispanic students struggle, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Hawaii high schools. The school's proximity to several high-performing public high schools, as well as potential socioeconomic and funding disparities, may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. However, the school's success with certain student subgroups indicates that it has the potential to improve its overall performance with the right strategies and resources.
