The University of Hawai’i (UH) system is comprised of three universities, seven community colleges, and nine education centers on six islands.

SY2018 assessment test results show that:
The Hawaiʻi Standard Assessment (HSA) in reading and math is administered to Department of Education (DOE) public school students in grades 3 – 8 and 10.
