Keeney School's test scores are significantly below state and district averages, with only 41.3% of 3rd graders and 39% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 46.9% and 51.4% statewide. In math, just 26% of 4th graders at Keeney School were proficient, versus 51.4% statewide.
