Summary

Father Keith B. Kenny is a K–6 elementary school serving 254 students in Sacramento, within Sacramento City Unified. In 2025–26, proficiency was 20% in English language arts (ELA), 14% in math and 15% in science, while chronic absenteeism was 39%. The central concern is that low achievement across all three subjects comes alongside exceptionally high absenteeism.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, though results remain low: it scored above five of eight nearby same-district schools, compared with above three in ELA and two in math. Its science score was 5 points below the nearby-school average; ELA and math were each 8 points below. Compared with the district and state, the school trailed in every subject: its largest gap was in ELA, at 22 points below the district and 30 below the state. Chronic absenteeism was also higher than the district’s 27% and the state’s 18%, and just above the nearby high at Mark Twain Elementary (38.5% versus 38.8%).

Results have not kept pace with the state over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 3 points and science fell 1, while math rose 2; the gaps with the state nevertheless widened by 6 points in ELA, 2 in math and 7 in science. Chronic absenteeism has improved, falling 21 points since 2021–22, but remains high. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 6th percentile with 0 stars, compared with the district’s 36th percentile and 2 stars. In 2024–25, 87% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 26.6—higher than all but one nearby school with data. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings showed stronger reported standings for English Language Learner Students (45th percentile in 2023–24) and African American Students (65th percentile in 2024–25) than the school’s overall standings in those years. With 254 students, year-to-year results may be sensitive to changes involving a relatively small number of students.
