Keys

The Keys school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Keys Elementary School and Keys High School. While Keys Elementary demonstrates strong academic performance, Keys High School faces significant challenges in student achievement.

Keys Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average on math and science assessments, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. The school is ranked in the top 50 elementary schools in Oklahoma and has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.5, which may contribute to its strong outcomes. In contrast, Keys High School struggles academically, with 11th grade proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The high school's graduation rate of 80.1% is also lower than the state average.

The Keys district is ranked 137 out of 342 districts in Oklahoma and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Both schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, over 70%, suggesting a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. Understanding the factors driving the performance differences between the elementary and high school, such as resource allocation, instructional practices, and student support services, could provide valuable insights to improve outcomes across the district.
