Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Keiller Leadership Academy is a 595-student K–8 school in San Diego, near a group of elementary and K–8 schools in several districts. Its strongest result is English language arts: it leads the ten nearby schools in all-grades proficiency. But math and science results trail both district and state levels, making the school’s clearest overall pattern a local strength in ELA alongside weaker math and science.

ELA proficiency was 43% at Keiller, compared with 54% in San Diego Unified and 49% statewide. It was 10 percentage points above the nearby-school average and 3 points above the next-highest result, 40% at Monterey Heights Elementary. Math was 26%, below the district by 20 points, the state by 13 points, and the nearby average by 3 points. Science was 23%, 19 points below the district and 13 below the state; it was also 3 points under the nearby average. Keiller’s ELA result is therefore a relative bright spot, not a sign that it exceeds district or state performance.

SchoolDigger ranks Keiller at the 49th percentile with 2 stars for 2025–26, second among nearby schools by percentile, just behind Monterey Heights at the 50th. Its percentile rose 28 points from 21 in 2017–18 to 49 in 2025–26, though the ranking did not rise steadily. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves special education students was notably higher than its overall ranking: the group ranked at the 69th percentile, 20 points above the school’s overall percentile. The data include no earlier comparable test scores, and Keiller’s 82% free/reduced lunch eligible figure is from 2017–18, unlike nearby schools’ reported rates of 67%–94% in 2024–25.
