The Hawai’i State Department of Education is made up of 297 schools, comprised of 258 public schools and 39 charter schools. All of these schools belong to one statewide public school district, organized into 15 regional complex areas. Each complex area consists of two to four “complexes”—a group of schools that includes a high school and its feeder elementary and middle schools.

The U.S. Department of Education requires that all states report the race and ethnicity of students enrolling in public school. The state of Hawaiʻi does not report individual information, but reports total counts of students by different sub-group categories of race and ethnicity. Although parents have the right to decline to provide this information to the school, federal rules require that every student be assigned an ethnicity and/or race category. The schools will designate a category in the event a parent declines to provide that information.
