Funding and Resources

Hawaii Department of Education reports per-pupil expenditure of approximately $14,000 per year, placing it 15% below the Hawaii state average of approximately $16,500 and near the national average nationally (U.S. average: $13,700/year). Near-average districts typically provide core academic programs with adequate staffing, though program breadth may be more limited than in higher-funded systems.

Within-district quality variation is significant: a school two miles from your address might be rated very differently from your assigned school.

Understanding the 7/10 Rating

Hawaii Department of Education has earned an overall SchoolDistrictFinder rating of 7/10, placing it in the above average tier. Our ratings are built from NCES Common Core of Data and measure structural factors: per-pupil expenditure, student-teacher ratio, enrollment stability, and school count.

Hawaii Department of Education earns an above-average rating, reflecting stronger-than-typical resource levels and stable enrollment trends for Hawaii. Above-average districts generally offer solid program variety, adequate staffing, and a track record of organizational stability.
