Summary

Keizer Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 565 students in Keizer, Oregon, part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J. It is the largest school among the nearby schools it is usually compared with, and the district as a whole ranks in the 26th percentile statewide.

The school's academic results have been below average for years, with a sharp recent drop. In 2024-25 and 2025-26 it ranked in the 4th percentile of Oregon elementary schools with zero stars, down from the low-to-mid 20s in earlier years. Proficiency rates in 2025-26 were 19.8% in English language arts, 13.6% in math, and 6.4% in science — third from the bottom in ELA, second from the bottom in math, and third from the bottom in science among ten similar schools. Science is the standout weakness: only Hallman Elementary School (under 5%) is lower. Performance also slips as students move up: 3rd-grade math is 22.2%, while 5th-grade math is 7.3% and 5th-grade science 6.4%.

The one clear bright spot is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell 13.1 points in a single year, from 46.6% to 33.5%, now better than the district and at the state average. Nearby schools serving similar populations show better results are possible: Clear Lake Elementary School posts 49.0% ELA and 41.9% math with 87.7% low-income enrollment, and Brush College Elementary School posts 48.0% and 41.9%. Keizer's per-student spending ($18,085) is the second lowest in its group, but spending alone does not explain outcomes — Forest Ridge Elementary School spends $25,704 and ranks in the 13th percentile. No measured student group now ranks above the 7th percentile statewide, and low-income students fell from the 50th percentile to the 7th in two years.
