Summary:
ZIP code 95328 has two schools: Keyes Elementary, serving kindergarten through fifth grade, and Keyes to Learning Charter, an alternative school serving kindergarten through 12th grade. Their 2025–2026 proficiency results show that the area’s academic picture varies by school and subject, rather than being uniformly strong or weak. The clearest finding is that Keyes to Learning scores higher in all three subjects, and its advantage also appears in the grades both schools share.
Keyes to Learning Charter stands out at the top: its all-grades proficiency was 62% in English language arts, 45% in math and 39% in science, each above the state. Keyes Elementary was lower in every subject, at 37% in English, 30% in math and 20% in science—below the state in all three. The charter’s lead was 25 percentage points in English, 15 in math and 20 in science. The same pattern holds in grades 3–5: the charter led by 13 to 27 points across the reported subject-and-grade comparisons. The schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not a fully like-for-like comparison; the shared-grade results reinforce the comparison.
Recent changes also favor the charter: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its proficiency rose 6 points in English, 3 in math and 6 in science, while state gains were smaller in each subject. At Keyes Elementary, English rose 2 points, math was essentially unchanged and science fell 2 points. SchoolDigger lists the elementary school at the 33rd percentile in 2025–2026, close to its 34th percentile the prior year. In 2024–2025, the elementary school had a 20.7 student-teacher ratio and 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the charter’s ratio was 27.8 and 28% were eligible. These are contextual differences, not explanations for results. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 1% at the charter and 13% at the elementary school, compared with 18% statewide; the charter’s graduation rate was 94%, above the state’s 88%.
