According to the Hawai\u02bbi State Department of Education\u2019s (HIDOE) 2024-25 Strive HI Performance System report released today, students are making gains in science, math and language arts, while attendance and college enrollment are also on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese results are a clear signal that Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s public schools are on the rise,\u201d Superintendent Keith Hayashi said. \u201cOur students are gaining ground in every core subject and&nbsp;more students are showing up to school ready to learn. With last year\u2019s gains we expect to reach academic recovery from the pandemic this year. While this is not our destination, it is an important milestone \u2014 Hawai\u02bbi is closer to recovery than many states. This growth reflects the hard work happening in classrooms across the state and the resilience of our students.
