Keyport School District

The Keyport School District in New Jersey operates two schools: Keyport Central School, an elementary school, and Keyport High School. Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide averages, with low rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Keyport Central School has a 2-star rating and ranks 812 out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9%, significantly higher than the state average. Keyport High School fares even worse, with a 1-star rating and a ranking of 334 out of 422 New Jersey high schools. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Algebra I, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages.

Both schools serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates of 40.36% at Keyport Central School and 37.04% at Keyport High School. This suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing the unique challenges faced by these students. Additionally, the high rates of chronic absenteeism at both schools are concerning and may be contributing to the overall academic performance issues. Overall, the Keyport School District appears to be facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
