Best Public Schools in Zip Code 96725

Summary:

The 96725 zip code has only one school, Holualoa Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 460 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance lags behind state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.

Holualoa Elementary School's ELA and Math proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages, with the largest gaps in 3rd grade. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.5%, which is more than double the state's target of 15%. Additionally, over half of the school's students (51.52%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population.

Targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community partnerships could help the school improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for all students.
