Summary

Keystone Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 458 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance.

Keystone Elementary significantly underperforms the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district and the state of Tennessee in proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of Keystone students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 22.6% for the district and 42.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in English Language Arts, with only 17.3% of students proficient or better, compared to 23.7% for the district and 38.9% for the state. Keystone Elementary also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.9% to 39.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Journey Coleman School, Georgian Hills Elementary, Scenic Hills Elementary, and Hawkins Mill Elementary also perform poorly, with similar low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism. However, the Memphis STEM Academy and Promise Academy Spring Hill charter schools in the area tend to outperform Keystone Elementary and the district overall, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in this community.
