Summary:
The city of Kapaau, Hawaii is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Hawaii Department of Education district. While the district is highly ranked, the performance of the individual schools in Kapaau varies, with Kohala High School standing out as the strongest performer.
Kohala High School ranks 24th out of 67 Hawaii high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 92.6% 4-year graduation rate and performs well in English Language Arts, with 60.94% of students proficient or better.

Across the schools, there is a notable diversity in the student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. However, the schools also have high percentages of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 52.73% to 59.33%. These factors may contribute to the performance disparities observed between the schools, and suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in the Kapaau area.
