School Reviews
5 3/23/2020
All five of my children graduated from Keystone and really got involved. One came in as a new student and made friends by becoming involved in the sports program. All of them graduated with a 3.0 or higher GPA, two with honors and one with high honors. The majority of the teachers are good strong teachers who wish to help a child. The program with Santa Fe College is good.

This is the worst school you could ever send your kids to. The staff is horrible and never are willing to help you. If you are sending a new student they will hate it and be miserable Keystone may get about 1 new student a year so no one will talk to your kid. They all have there groups and do not care about the ONLY new kid.
