Honolulu Magazine looks at the lowering of the education quality at Hawaii's schools. The story reveals that, according to the National Education Association for year 2000, the government schools got a "D-" for standards and accountability, "F" in school climate, and "D" in improving teacher quality.

The article examines different options to improve the quality of public education in Hawaii.
