Margaret Keating Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Del Norte County Unified school district, located in Klamath, CA with about 92 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

With about 6 teachers, Margaret Keating Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Part of the Del Norte County Unified School District, the school serves a student population that is deeply rooted in the local environment and the heritage of the Yurok Tribe.
