Performance Standards Review Commission

The Performance Standards Review Commission evaluates the performance standards used in Hawaii's public school system, reviewing whether academic benchmarks, graduation requirements, and assessment criteria are appropriate and aligned with college and career readiness. The commission advises the Board of Education and Department of Education on revisions to standards and ensures Hawaii students are held to rigorous and equitable expectations. It draws on data, research, and stakeholder input in its review process.

The standards this commission reviews directly affect what Hawaii's children are taught and how their academic progress is measured. Parents, educators, and community members can engage with the commission's public meetings and provide input during its review cycles.
