Keystone Elementary School is ranked 1122 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's performance on PSSA tests is generally below the district and state averages, with math proficiency at 35.7% compared to 20.5% for the district and 40.4% for the state, and English Language Arts proficiency at 32.4% compared to 35.4% for the district and 53% for the state. However, the school's science proficiency of 72.6% is higher than the district's 48.8% and the state's 65.8%.
The school has a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the higher per-student spending of $19,179, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance remains below the state average. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.1 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio of 15:1 for elementary schools, suggesting challenges in attracting and retaining qualified teachers.
