Summary:
The Keys area of Oklahoma has only one high school, Keys High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its ranking dropping from 178 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 to 256 out of 463 in the 2024-2025 school year, and its rating decreasing from 3 stars to 2 stars during that time.
Academically, Keys High School struggles, with proficiency rates below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the school's proficiency in U.S. History is higher than the state average, which could be an area of strength. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19% and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement.
Despite these challenges, Keys High School's per-student spending of $9,714 for the 2018-2019 school year may present opportunities for more effective resource allocation and targeted interventions to support student success. Overall, the analysis suggests that the Keys community could benefit from a closer examination of the school's performance and the implementation of strategies to address the identified areas of concern.
