While Hawai‘i’s student performance has not yet reached pre-pandemic levels, students are doing relatively well compared to students in other states.

Hawai‘i public schools saw an overall uptick in mathematics performance in the second full academic year following the pandemic, according to statewide assessment results the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education released today as part of its annual Strive HI Performance System report. In language arts and science, Hawai‘i scores held steady, maintaining gains from the year before.

Results from assessment tests for Hawaii’s public school students showed there was some recovery from learning losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic but that there is still a lot of work to do.
