Keyes Elementary

Summary:

Keyes Elementary is a public elementary school in Irving, Texas, serving 685 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Irving Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 822 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Keyes Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 83.36% Hispanic, significantly higher than the surrounding schools and state average. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 30.99% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR/Reading, compared to 34.52% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Additionally, Keyes Elementary has a very high percentage of students (over 92%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Keyes Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it consistently performs worse across all metrics, including test scores, school rankings, and student demographics. For example, Gilbert F.M. Elementary, located just 1.29 miles away, outperforms Keyes Elementary by a significant margin in both reading and math proficiency. Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Keyes Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past several years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to address the persistent achievement gaps.

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.
