17 Maui schools fail to meet federal goals
17 Maui schools fail to meet federal goals | HonoluluAdvertiser.com | The Honolulu Advertiser
Article illustrates the state of Maui schools - worse than in 2007. Doesn't look that great statewide. See the whole article via link above, or find on site: HonoluluAdvertiser.com | The Honolulu Advertiser | Honolulu news, community, entertainment, yellow pages and classifieds. Serving Honolulu, Hawaii
" In 2008, only four Maui County schools joined 109 statewide in achieving what is called Adequate Yearly Progress. The other 27, including Kihei Public Charter School and Kualapuu Elementary, a charter school on Molokai, did not hit the required proficiency targets. (Pomaikai Elementary School in Kahului was exempt because it's only been in existence for one full school year.)
Preliminary results issued Thursday at a Board of Education meeting in Honolulu showed that 113 Hawaii public schools, or 40 percent of those statewide, met annual proficiency targets this year. That's down from 184 schools, or 65 percent, that reached the goals last year."
