Summary:
The Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy District contains a single elementary school, Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance data paints a concerning picture, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized assessments and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy has struggled academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency rate was just 13.51%, compared to the state average of 42.8%. The school's performance in Science is also below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average and may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Socioeconomic challenges also appear to be a factor, as the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 68.73%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 24.5 is also higher than the state average. Given the consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and declining ranking and rating, it is clear that Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy is in need of significant improvement to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
