Keizer Elementary School struggles academically, with significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.3% of 3rd graders, 25.6% of 4th graders, and 44.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district scores of 23.7%, 28.4%, and 35.9%, respectively, and the state scores of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its Hispanic and special education student subgroups, which rank in the bottom 25% and 15% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively. Additionally, Keizer Elementary has a high percentage of students (69.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
When comparing Keizer Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming its peers. For example, Brush College Elementary School and Clear Lake Elementary School, both within a 3-mile radius of Keizer Elementary, consistently outperform Keizer Elementary in test scores and overall school rankings. However, the school's performance on the 5th-grade science assessment, where it scored slightly above the district and state averages, suggests that the school may have the potential to improve in other subject areas with the right strategies and support.
