Summary:
The 96713 zip code is home to a single school, Hana High & Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. This alternative public school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1st out of 1 district in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hana High & Elementary School has a strong 92.0% four-year graduation rate, but it faces challenges with a relatively high 35.0% chronic absenteeism rate. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in the earlier grade levels. For example, in 11th grade, the school's ELA proficiency rate is 39%, compared to the state's 59%, and in 3rd grade, the school's Math proficiency rate is 9%, compared to the state's 53%.
Despite these academic performance concerns, the school appears to be investing resources in its educational program, with a relatively low 14.2 student-teacher ratio and high spending of $21,389 per student. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the factors behind the high chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes, particularly in the earlier grades, could be key focus areas for the school and the district to ensure the success of all students.
