Summary

Keyes Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 477 students in the Keyes Union school district, currently holding a statewide ranking in the lower third of California elementary schools.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, but it shows a real strength in supporting its English Language Learner students, ranking significantly higher for that group. A notable positive trend is a dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism cut nearly in half over the past few years. However, the school's academic results have not yet risen proportionally with this better attendance, and there is a noticeable drop in math proficiency by 5th grade that stands out compared to earlier grades.

Interesting comparisons exist with nearby schools. For instance, La Rosa Elementary achieves a much higher overall ranking while serving a student population with a very similar level of economic need. Additionally, Whitmore Charter School of Art & Technology posts stronger test scores with lower per-student spending. These comparisons suggest that demographic challenges do not solely determine outcomes, and the recent stabilizing trend at Keyes Elementary, alongside its effective ELL program, may indicate positive changes are underway.
