HI HB2378

Establishes a school grading system using grades A through F based on student achievement, growth, attendance, dropout rates, and workforce skills attainment.

Requires high schools to base 50% of grades on achievement factors and 50% on graduation rates, with consideration of Advanced Placement, IB, dual enrollment courses, and college readiness measures.

Creates intervention and support strategies tied to school performance categories, with most intense interventions for lowest-performing schools that may include turnaround plans, student reassignment, charter school conversion, or contracting with outside operators.

Mandates annual school report cards published by the Department of Education showing grades, performance trends, No Child Left Behind status, and return on investment metrics distributed to parents.

Requires the Superintendent of Education to establish a centralized data system collecting school performance data for studies, student outcome reporting, and college readiness improvement across all public schools.
