Are you serious? 2,025 students (2/3rd of the entire Lahaina school district student total) who were enrolled before the fire are now simply not accounted for in the enrollment numbers? And you don't think that means they are missing? Really?! The article states:
"About two-thirds of the 3,001 children who once attended Lahaina’s four public schools still have not enrolled in [any] Hawaii public schools or the state’s distance learning program."
"...state officials cannot tell yet exactly how many have left the system for 'private schools' or 'the mainland', are 'pausing schooling', or are among the [missing] West Maui residents..."
Remember, you cannot enroll in a new school without obtaining your school records and transcripts from your old school. The Lahaina schools would have a record of any student who was transferring or leaving. They can easily tell us if any of the 'unenrolled' student had requested their transcripts be sent elsewhere. I'm betting none did.
And if all of the kids who are 'unenrolled' were also 'sent home early' and got on buses that are now missing as well... then the story is taking a very dark turn.
I followed your link below and these 1,000 students are part of the 3,000 students total in Lahaina.
There are still 2,000 missing enrollments [since the fire].
from the article:
As of Monday only 538 of the Lahaina students had reenrolled in other Hawaii public schools, and 438 students had signed up for the State Distance Learning Program, according to a “Maui Wildfire Impacts” report that state Schools Superintendent Keith Hayashi is scheduled to present today at a state Board of Education meeting.
That leaves 2,025 Lahaina students “who have not enrolled in another public school or opted for distance learning (may have moved out of state, enrolled in private schools),” Hayashi’s report says.
and by the way... did you consider that since all the schools in Lahaina burned to the ground, the buses were deployed elsewhere, where they were needed?
The report states that as of August 21, out of the 3,001 students enrolled as of August 8, 538 have “re-enrolled in other public schools”; 438 have “enrolled in the State Distance Learning Program (SDLP), English and Hawaiian language immersion”; and says of the 2,025 not accounted for: “Remainder of students who have not re-enrolled in another public school or opted for distance learning (may have moved out of state, enrolled in private schools)”
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported one private school on Maui has received about 1,000 new applicants since the fire. However the article also mentioned a private school with 200 students had been destroyed by the fire (excerpt):
Meanwhile, Maui’s private schools also are in flux. Maui Preparatory Academy recently received a surge of about 1,000 applications for new openings the school made to accommodate displaced students, officials posted online this week
From the Gateway Pundit that decided to run a sensational, clickbait headline. Had NO basis in reality if you read the entire article. Lazy journalism, at best.

I just located ONE THOUSAND of the 'missing kids'

Look at the drone flyovers.
At the top of the mid zone where the house flowed down from the mountain...that largest residential area?
Most of the schools were at the top of the area - closer to the mountains and away from sea.
That area did not burn.
So far as I'm aware, only one [public] elementary school closer to water burned.
However, many private schools burned.
I have considered it.
I haven't seen them in any drone flyovers, or heard of such usage, but...sure, it's a major possibility.
missing enrollments = have not enrolled
not officially 'missing' children
read it again... bold font part 'public' is the key word
