School Reviews

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.
5 10/10/2025
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.
