Keyes Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 6.3% in 2017-2018 to 22.6% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average of 14.3%. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized tests, with only 33.48% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 26.84% in Math, compared to 40.85% and 28.34% for the district, and 47.04% and 35.54% for the state. Keyes Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,373 out of 5,611 California elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 4,053 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024.

The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 84.99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state average of 55.9%. While Keyes Elementary performs better than some nearby lower-ranked schools like Don Pedro Elementary and Walter M. Brown Elementary, it lags behind higher-performing local schools such as Whitmore Charter School of Art & Technology and Walnut Elementary Education Center. Targeted interventions to address chronic absenteeism, improve test scores, and provide additional support for students from low-income families could help Keyes Elementary 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.
