Summary:
The Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy District in Hayward, California, consists of a single K-8 elementary school, Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy, serving 645 students.
This school shows notable strengths in English Language Arts for its older students, with 7th and 8th graders performing above the California state average. However, mathematics proficiency is an area for growth across all grades, and the school's overall academic rankings place it in the lower quartile of schools statewide. Chronic absenteeism, at 24.2%, is higher than the state average, which is a significant challenge as regular attendance is closely linked to academic success.
With over 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with high economic need. It spends $16,409 per student, which is a substantial investment, and has a student-teacher ratio of 25.8 to 1. Parents may want to inquire about the specific math support programs and attendance initiatives the school has in place to address its identified challenges while building on its literacy successes in the upper grades.
