Summary

Keystone Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Memphis, TN, serving 446 students as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. The school currently holds a 0-star rating and ranks in the 7th percentile among Tennessee elementary schools—a ranking that has declined steadily over the past five years, from the 20th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 7th percentile for 2025–2026. Academically, Keystone trails both district and state averages significantly: only 16% of students are proficient in math, 14.1% in English language arts, and 22% in science, compared with state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%, respectively.

Chronic absenteeism is one of the school's biggest challenges. At 40.8%, Keystone's chronic absenteeism rate is more than double the state rate of 18.3% and higher than the district rate of 30.2%. Several nearby schools, including Hawkins Mill Elementary School (8.3%), Star Academy (16.3%), and Libertas School of Memphis (15.6%), have far lower absenteeism rates—and notably, those same schools also outperform Keystone academically. By contrast, Keystone does outperform a few nearby schools like Georgian Hills Elementary School and Lucie E. Campbell Elementary School in math and science, but it lags far behind Memphis STEM Academy, which posts proficiency rates near or above state averages in all subjects.

There are some bright spots worth noting. Science is a relative strength: Keystone's science proficiency (22%) is closer to the district average (28.4%) than its math or ELA scores, and in 2023–2024 it actually beat the district average in science. Early literacy is a particular concern—only 8.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared with 18% of 5th graders. The school also spends a similar amount per student ($15,412) as nearby schools, yet achieves much weaker outcomes than high-performing neighbors like Memphis STEM Academy and Libertas School of Memphis. This suggests that improving attendance and early-grade reading instruction could be key areas for turning the school around.
