Lokelani Intermediate School

Summary:

Lokelani Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Kihei, Hawaii, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 473 as of the 2022-2023 school year. 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.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, Lokelani Intermediate School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 19th out of 70 Hawaii middle schools in 2018-2019 to 55th out of 89 in 2023-2024. The school's current rating is 2 out of 5 stars. Lokelani Intermediate School also performs particularly poorly in comparison to other Hawaii middle schools for its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of the state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly above the state average, and its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels.

With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.59% to 53.33% over the past three school years, Lokelani Intermediate School may need to ensure that resources are being effectively allocated to support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Compared to nearby schools, such as Lahaina Intermediate School, Samuel Enoka Kalama Intermediate School, Iao Intermediate School, and Maui Waena Intermediate School, Lokelani Intermediate School lags behind in several key metrics, suggesting the need for a closer examination of its instructional practices, student support systems, and attendance policies to identify areas for improvement and better support student learning and engagement.

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.
