Summary:

The city of Naalehu, Hawaii has only one public elementary school, Naalehu Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 422 students. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts (22.86%), Mathematics (12.26%), and Science (19.05%). Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 56.3%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

This suggests that factors beyond funding and resources, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and community engagement, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

The diverse student population at Naalehu Elementary, with a majority of Pacific Islander students, may require targeted interventions and support to address their unique needs and improve academic outcomes. Addressing the school's low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and other systemic issues will be crucial for enhancing the quality of education in the Naalehu community.
