Keiller Leadership Academy

Summary:

Keiller Leadership Academy is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 603 students in grades K-8 in San Diego, California. The school is part of the Keiller Leadership Academy District, which is ranked 978 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Keiller Leadership Academy faces significant challenges in student academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science, where proficiency rates are well below the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were 42.62% and 22.25%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%. The school's performance is especially low in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.13% to 36.54% across grade levels, compared to the state averages of 31.57% to 45.64%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

However, Keiller Leadership Academy does show some strengths, such as its relatively low student-teacher ratio and the performance of its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who perform better than the nearby Lemon Grove and San Diego Unified district schools. The school's performance is generally lower than nearby schools, such as Freese Elementary, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Addressing the school's academic and attendance issues should be a priority to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
