Summary

Father Keith B. Kenny is a public K-6 elementary school serving 254 students in the Sacramento City Unified district, operating in a high-need environment where 87% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, currently ranking in the bottom 12% of California schools, a notable decline from its historical performance. While it shows a current strength in serving some student groups, overall proficiency rates in English, math, and especially science (13.8%) lag behind district and state averages. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 44% of students missing too much school, which is more than double the state average and creates a critical barrier to learning. Furthermore, the student-teacher ratio recently increased significantly to 26.6 students per teacher.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools reveal important context. The school spends more per student ($24,601) than most neighbors, including higher-performing schools like Leonardo Da Vinci and The Language Academy of Sacramento, suggesting how resources are used is crucial. Its attendance challenge is among the most severe in the area, second only to St. HOPE Public School 7. Schools with similar economic demographics, such as Tahoe Elementary and Hollywood Park Elementary, achieve better academic results, indicating that improvement is possible with focused strategies.
