Summary:
ZIP code 96713 covers Hana, a remote community on the eastern tip of Maui, and it contains exactly one school: Hana High & Elementary School, a single PK–12 campus at 4111 Hana Hwy serving 368 students across 14 grade levels, or roughly 26 students per grade. The area summary labels it an "alternative" school with zero elementary, middle, or high schools, but that is a classification artifact — this is the community's only school, serving preschoolers through seniors, and it should not be benchmarked against true alternative programs. Data completeness is unusually good: there are no suppressed values, no bound formats, and no ranges, every figure is exact.
Outcomes and context are mixed. The student-teacher ratio is 13.1 to 1, implying roughly 28 educators. The graduation rate is strong at 92.0%, while chronic absenteeism stands at 35.0% — about one in three students misses enough school to be flagged. Free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is 71.2%, meaning nearly three in four students come from economically disadvantaged households. Per-student spending is high at $21,389, but that figure is from 2018–2019, roughly seven years older than the rest of the record, so it best describes the cost of running an isolated PK–12 school rather than current investment or return.
Test scores are low in absolute terms and essentially flat. English language arts proficiency is 24% and mathematics is 16% on Smarter Balanced in both years reported, with no movement at all; science is the relative bright spot at 36%, up 3 points from 33% on the Hawaiʻi State Assessment, a different instrument. Mathematics is the clearest priority, sitting 8 points below ELA. The Hawaii Department of Education carries a 5-star rating, but its rank of 1 of 1 and 0 percentile reflect the absence of comparison groups, not performance. With no state benchmark or peer schools in this data, read these numbers as a portrait of one school, not a verdict.
