Summary:
ZIP code 97627 in the rural community of Keno, Oregon contains exactly one elementary school: Keno Elementary School, which serves grades K–6 with 183 students and belongs to Klamath County School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no local peers to compare it against — the most useful benchmarks are the district and the state of Oregon.
Academically, Keno Elementary looks strong in its core subjects. Overall English Language Arts proficiency is 55.1% and math is 54.1%, both above district and state averages, with math ahead of the state by more than 21 points. Its ranking history is stable and high, sitting at the 71st percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26 and holding in the top 27–30% of ranked Oregon elementary schools for three straight years — well above its own district, which ranks at the 45th percentile with 2 stars. Grade-level results show particular strength in 3rd-grade math (77.8%) and 6th-grade ELA (70.0%). Two areas stand out as weaker: 5th grade, where ELA (32.0%) and science (15.4%) fall below both district and state, and science overall (15.4%), which is about 15 points behind the state.
Context matters here. About 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school still outperforms in reading and math. Chronic absenteeism is 26.7%, lower than the district's 31.0% and the state's 33.5%, though more than one in four students are still chronically absent. Per-student spending is $30,003 with a 13.7:1 student-teacher ratio. With only about 183 students, individual grade results can shift noticeably from year to year, so single-year numbers — especially in 5th grade and science — should be read with caution. Overall, this is a small school posting above-average core academic results while serving a high-need population.
