Summary:

The 96816 zip code area is home to a single high school, Kaimuki High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school is the sole high school option for this geographic region, its academic performance and other key metrics suggest room for improvement.

Kaimuki High School has an enrollment of 550 students and is ranked 1 out of 1 in the Hawaii Department of Education district, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year was 78.0%, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 45.0% in the same year. Standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Biology I are also significantly below the statewide averages, with only 14% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 9% proficient or better in Biology I for the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($20,128 in the 2018-2019 school year) and a student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance and attendance issues suggest the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve educational outcomes for the students of Kaimuki High School.
