Summary:
The Keyport School District in New Jersey contains a single high school, Keyport High School, which serves grades 9-12. The district and its lone high school are both rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating relatively low performance compared to other schools in the state.
Keyport High School has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, dropping from 291 out of 429 high schools in 2023-2024 to 299 out of 434 high schools in 2024-2025. The school's test scores are significantly below state averages, particularly in Mathematics, with only 11.5% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in NJSLA/Algebra I compared to the state average of 20.3%. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and spends slightly above the state average per student, suggesting potential opportunities for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes.
Despite these challenges, Keyport High School maintains a respectable 91.3% four-year graduation rate, slightly above the state average. However, the school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, and over 55% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages within the student population. Overall, while Keyport High School faces several performance-related obstacles, the district and its lone high school appear to have room for improvement in order to better serve the educational needs of their community.
