Keeley Elementary consistently outperforms the Garland ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Keeley Elementary had 72.82% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 49.39% for Garland ISD and 48.85% for Texas.

While Keeley Elementary outperforms the Garland ISD average, some nearby schools within the district, such as Robert B. Sewell Elementary and Katherine Stephens Elementary, have lower academic performance and lower SchoolDigger ratings. This highlights the variability in academic achievement within the same school district, underscoring the importance of analyzing individual school data rather than relying solely on district-level information. Despite Keeley Elementary's overall strong performance, there are a few areas where the school could potentially improve, such as in 5th-grade Science proficiency, which is lower than the state average.

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.
