School Conditions and Academic Gains among Hawaiian Children: Identifying Successful School Strategies

The work presented here is the result of a collaborative project among the Hawai‘i Department of Education, Kamehameha Schools, and The Evaluation Center. This project studied school-level factors that influence academic achievement and performance of Native Hawaiian students in public schools in the state of Hawai‘i. The study focused on school-level instructional strategies, curricula, and policies that distinguished schools in terms of increases in test scores for their Native Hawaiian students.

(Note: This project was originally titled "Successful Schools for Hawaiians Study.")
