nBackground from HI DOE Senior Exit Plan Survey 2003 for Leeward and Central district high schools.
The number ranking on high school grads indicates the order in which we plan to target them, so we won’t take away from the community colleges or Manoa (much).  Groups 1 and 2 are good students that are lost potential for the UH system. Groups 3 and 4 are lost potential for higher education and the state economy.
