​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Overview​

In August 2014, the Department released the Strive HI Performance System Results for School Year 2013-14, the second year under the new accountability and improvement system. Key statewide findings:

  • Chronic Absenteeism in Hawaii's public schools plummeted 39 percent. This significant improvement means the prospect for future success improved for more than 5,500 students statewide — reducing chronic absenteeism has been shown to improve outcomes for grades, proficiency, graduation and college-going rates, even when factoring for challenges such as poverty and disability.
  • Science proficiency rose to 41 percent from 34 percent.*
  • Slight declines in reading and math proficiency were anticipated as a new baseline is set. The Department has transitioned to new standards, and is transitioning to a new aligned assessment, Smarter Balanced​. Reading proficiency declined to 70* from 72 percent, math declined to 59 from 60 percent.
  • College- and career-readiness indicators are steady as part of a long-term upward trend. The graduation rate is 82 percent, and the college-going rate is 63 percent.
  • Increased resources and interventions for Focus schools is paying off — 21 of 31 schools showed higher Index scores, with an average improvement of 47 points.

* — updated following appeals process that concluded Sept. 2014.​

Each school has a link to its performance report, as well as a link to the report overview (a step-by-step guide on how to read the report). For a small number of schools, details from these reports are not publicly available because of the small student population (data are suppressed to protect student privacy).
