Summary

Keizer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 544 students in grades K-5 in Keizer, Oregon, part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year.

Keizer Elementary School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with only 12.4% of 3rd graders, 18.5% of 4th graders, and 22.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 25.3%, 27.4%, and 34.7% for the district, and 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 47.9% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, 66.18% of Keizer Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Keizer Elementary to nearby schools, the differences are stark. For example, Brush College Elementary School and Optimum Learning Environment Charter School, both within a few miles of Keizer, have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and overall school rankings. Despite these challenges, Keizer Elementary has the potential to improve, as its ranking for multi-racial students and English Language Learners has been higher in the past, suggesting the school can better support these student populations with the right interventions.
