Summary:
Keyes has one elementary school, [Keyes Elementary](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schools/1962002359/school.aspx), serving kindergarten through grade five with 477 students. In 2025–26, about 37% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 30% in math, and 20% in science; each result was below the state rate. Math was closest to the state, while science was furthest behind: the gaps were 8 points in math, 12 in ELA, and 16 in science. Science is the clearest current area of concern compared with state results.
There is no local top or bottom school to compare: [Keyes Elementary](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schools/1962002359/school.aspx) is the only school listed, so its results cannot be ranked against another Keyes school. Within its own results, fourth-grade ELA stands out as a relative bright spot: 41% were proficient, about 5 points below the state rate. Third-grade ELA was further behind, at 28% proficient and 16 points below the state. Third-grade math also trailed the state by 16 points, compared with a 10-point gap in fourth grade and a 10-point gap in fifth grade. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and ranks it 3,865 of 5,804 schools, at the 33rd percentile.
Results have moved in different directions by subject: ELA improved relative to the state, while math and especially science fell further behind. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency rose 2 points and its state gap narrowed by 2 points; math was essentially unchanged as its gap widened by 1 point; science fell 2 points as its gap widened by 6 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile was 31 in 2023–24, 34 in 2024–25, and 33 in 2025–26. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 20.7 in 2024–25, and 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 13%, compared with 10% in the district and 18% statewide. Because the list has only one school, it cannot show how these context measures compare across local schools.
