Summary:
The 96749 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, the academic performance across the schools varies significantly, with some standout schools and others struggling to meet proficiency standards.
Keaau High School stands out as the largest school in the area, with over 1,000 students. The school has a graduation rate above the state average, but it also faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.4%. In contrast, Ke Kula o Nawahiokalaniopuu Iki - Laboratory PCS, a public charter school serving grades PK-8, struggles academically, with only 3-4% of students proficient in ELA and Math, ranking it 206th out of 207 Hawaii elementary schools.
The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance across the schools. While Keaau Elementary School and Keaau Middle School have proficiency rates below state averages, Keaau High School performs relatively better, with a 49.77% proficiency rate in ELA and 21.19% in Biology. However, the high rates of chronic absenteeism across all schools suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these Hawaii Department of Education schools.
