Long-term Goals

The Hawaii State Department of Education Long-Term Goals reflect our belief that all students can achieve college- and career-readiness while providing schools with challenging but attainable interim and long-term targets that reflect performance over time. Due to COVID-19, Hawaii public schools were waived from statewide testing by the U.S. Department of Education. As a result, a number of test-derived results are not available for 2020. Therefore (1) school and state proficiency rates, and (2) academic growth are not reported.

Measurements of interim progress sunsetted following the 2021-22 school year.

This graph presents graduation rates over time and corresponding interim and long-term targets for the four-year adjusted cohort.

Students who receive a diploma within four years are considered "on-time" graduates (numerator). Year labels at the bottom of the chart represent each cohort’s graduation year. The graduation rate for the past three years has consistently climbed about 1% per year and meeting the 2019-2020 Interim Target of 86%.
