Honouliuli Middle School

Q: Is Honouliuli Middle School a good school?

Honouliuli Middle School ranks 48 th of 89 Hawaii middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Honouliuli Middle School is a public middle school located in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 714 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.

While Honouliuli Middle School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and students of two or more races, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments and HSA/Science, lags behind many of its neighbors. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43%), Mathematics (22%), and Science (34%) were lower than the state averages and the performance of schools like Mililani Middle, Major Sheldon Wheeler Middle, and Aliamanu Middle. Additionally, Honouliuli Middle School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (25.7%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 9.8% to 21.5%.

However, while Honouliuli Middle School's overall academic performance is lower than the nearby schools, its performance for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, is relatively stronger. This suggests that the school and district may have an opportunity to identify and address the specific challenges faced by the student population, potentially through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
