Hana High & Elementary School

Summary:

Hana High & Elementary School is a public alternative school in Hana, Hawaii, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 378 students. The school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1 out of 1 in the state and rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Hana High & Elementary School has consistently lower proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates were 36% in English Language Arts and 8% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 59% and 25%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of 83.3% is also lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9% compared to the state.

Despite these academic challenges, Hana High & Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 14 over the past three school years, which may provide opportunities for more personalized instruction and support. The school also serves a population with a lower socioeconomic status, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.87% to 81.25% over the past three school years. The school's remote, rural location on the island of Maui may contribute to the unique demographic and academic performance characteristics of the school community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
