Keyport High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores, with only 25.3% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9%. The school's NJSLA/Algebra I proficiency rate is also low, at 11.5%, compared to the state average of 20.3%. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.1% to 91.9% in recent years. Unfortunately, Keyport High School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 21.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
