Summary:

Hakipuu Academy is a public charter high school located in Kaneohe, Hawaii, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 49 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.

Hakipuu Academy faces significant challenges in student academic performance, as evidenced by its low proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, ranging from 0% to 32.14% proficient or better across all grades. The school's proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Aiea High School, President William McKinley High School, and Moanalua High School. Additionally, Hakipuu Academy's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 86.6%, which is lower than the state average and several nearby high schools.

However, Hakipuu Academy's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 8.1 to 11.2 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby public high schools. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of Pacific Islander students (53.06% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby public high schools, and the school's performance for Pacific Islander students is a standout, with a ranking of 3 out of 61 Hawaii high schools for this subgroup in the 2023-2024 school year.

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.
