Summary

Keiller Leadership Academy is a K-8 public school serving 635 students in San Diego, operating as its own independent Keiller Leadership Academy District.

The school presents a mixed academic picture compared to nearby schools. In English Language Arts, its 39.8% proficiency rate is higher than several neighbors like San Miguel Elementary (29.8%) and Audubon K-8 (26.1%), but it trails behind top performers like Monterey Heights Elementary (43.8%). Math proficiency, at 21.5%, is lower than most comparable schools. A significant strength is its program for English Language Learners, which has historically performed very well. However, the school faces a major challenge with chronic absenteeism, as nearly 30% of students miss too much school, a rate higher than the state average and most area schools.

Notably, Keiller operates with a lower student-teacher ratio (17.5 to 1) and spends less per student than many schools in larger districts like San Diego Unified. Despite this, its overall academic ranking has declined in recent years. There is also a concerning performance gap between male and female students, and test results vary widely from grade to grade. While the school shows it can succeed with specific student groups, addressing attendance and ensuring consistent instruction across all grades appear to be key areas for improvement.
