Summary

Keller Elementary School, a mid-sized PK–5 school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serves 326 students and is part of Colorado Springs School District No. 11. The school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks 709th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the bottom quarter of the state with academic challenges that are particularly visible in math and upper-grade performance.

One of the most pressing concerns at Keller is chronic absenteeism, which reached 46.8% in 2024–2025 — the highest among nearby schools, well above the state rate of 28.4% and above the district's already-high 45.8%. This attendance challenge is closely tied to academic struggles, especially in math. Keller's all-grades math proficiency is just 21.3%, compared with 32.1% in the district and 37.3% statewide. The 5th grade math result is especially concerning at 11.1%, while nearby Scott Elementary School (57.8%) and Martinez Elementary School (47.0%) perform far better in the same grade. English language arts is also below average at 32.4%, though 4th graders posted a relative bright spot at 41.9%, above the district's 39.3%.

Keller has demonstrated that improvement is possible. In 2023–2024, the school ranked at the 42nd percentile with a 2-star rating, and its math proficiency reached 35.9% — above both district and state averages — while low-income students posted strong subgroup results. Nearby Pioneer Elementary School, just 1.76 miles away in Academy School District No. 20, ranks at the 74th percentile with 61.6% ELA proficiency, illustrating how much outcomes can vary within the same area. The bottom line for parents is that attendance is the most urgent issue at Keller. If the school can make meaningful progress on chronic absenteeism, it has demonstrated the potential to move significantly up the state rankings.
