Governor Samuel Wilder King Intermediate School

Summary:

Governor Samuel Wilder King Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Kaneohe, Hawaii, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 517 students. The school is part of the Hawaii Department of Education district, which is ranked 1 out of 1 in the state and rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments and HSA/Science, is generally lower than the top-performing nearby schools, such as Moanalua Middle School and Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the top-performing nearby schools. However, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.9 compared to some of the nearby schools.

The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (52.42% in 2022-2023). This suggests that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its diverse student population, particularly for underperforming subgroups such as African American, Special Education, and English Language Learner students. By addressing these areas, the school can work towards providing a high-quality education and better preparing its students for future success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
