Summary

Keiller Leadership Academy is a K–8 school in San Diego serving 635 students. Its clearest academic strength is English language arts (ELA) compared with nearby schools, but mathematics is its most significant weakness: Keiller ranked 10th of 11 schools in math, with only 22% of students proficient.

In 2024–2025, Keiller’s ELA proficiency was 40%, above the nearby-school average of 33% but below California’s 49%; it ranked third among the 11 schools. Math proficiency was 22%, below the nearby average of 29% and the state’s 37%, and only Rancho Elementary scored lower among the group. Science was a relative middle ground: 23% proficiency, close to the nearby average of 22% but below the state’s 33%, placing Keiller fifth among the 11 schools. No district test-score benchmark is supplied for the Keiller Leadership Academy District.

Results have declined overall: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, ELA proficiency fell 8 points and math fell 3 points, while the state improved in both subjects. Science rebounded from 14% in 2023–2024 to 23% in 2024–2025, but remained below its 27% level in 2022–2023. SchoolDigger ranked Keiller at the 32nd percentile and gave it 2 stars in 2024–2025, down from the 48th percentile in 2022–2023. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 17.5, the lowest among nearby schools, whose average was 23.1; its 85% free/reduced lunch eligible measure in 2024–2025 was close to the nearby average of 83%. Chronic absenteeism improved to 30% in 2024–2025 from 32% the prior year, but remained above California’s 19%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show a notable contrast: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 71st percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 41st percentile, while Female Students ranked at the 13th percentile in 2024–2025, versus 32nd overall.
