Hawai'i's public school students are closing in on their pre-pandemic scores in language arts and maths, with maths proficiency up for a fourth straight year and regular attendance rising to 76.8%, from 66.1% in 2021-22. Among the states reporting so far, Hawai'i sits near the top in both subjects — a recovery built lesson by lesson, and family by family showing up.
