Data Source

The School Status & Improvement Report (SSIR) is one of several major reports produced by the Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) as part of their effort to provide regular, easy-to-understand accounts of school performance and progress across the state. Individual reports are prepared for each of the 288 HIDOE schools annually, and contain information on the school setting, school improvement, available resources, and vital signs on school performance. Reports spanning back to 1999 are available as PDFs through the DOE Accountability Resource Center.
