Summary

Keyport Central School serves 605 students in pre-K through grade 8 in Keyport, New Jersey, as part of the Keyport School District. Its results vary sharply by grade and subject: Algebra I is a standout, while science proficiency is below the state average in both tested grades.

Algebra I is the school’s clearest strength: 93% of eighth graders were proficient, compared with 75% statewide and 93% districtwide. A separate end-of-course result also shows 93% proficient—53 points above the state’s 40% and 60 points above the district’s 33%—but that district figure differs from the eighth-grade comparison, so the measures are not interchangeable. Science is weakest relative to the state: Keyport averaged 16% proficiency across grades 5 and 8, versus 23% statewide. Grade 3 math was 24%, the lowest among eight nearby schools reporting that grade, whose average was 49%; grade 4 ELA was 32%, also lowest among seven nearby schools, averaging 48%. In contrast, grade 5 math reached 60%, second among four nearby schools reporting that grade, which averaged 52%. Across grades 3–8, ELA averaged 48% versus 51% statewide, and math averaged 39% versus 40%.

Over four years, ELA rose from 45% to 48% and math from 27% to 39%, but both fell from their 2024–2025 levels; grade 5 science also declined over the longer period, even as grade 8 science improved. SchoolDigger ranks Keyport at the 38th percentile statewide with 2 stars, up from the 26th percentile in 2020–2021 but down from its 51st-percentile peak in 2023–2024; among seven nearby schools with current rankings, it is second-lowest. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 8.9, the lowest among 10 nearby schools with reported figures. In 2024–2025, 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 31% average at nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner Students was at the 58th percentile, 20 points above the school’s overall standing; its Hispanic Students measure fell from the 63rd percentile to the 39th in one year.
