KEIFER ACADEMY

Keifer Academy is a Title I public school that is part of the Springfield City School District school district, located in Springfield, OH with about 265 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, Keifer Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Keifer Academy, located on Selma Road in Springfield, Ohio, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Springfield City School District. It serves as an alternative learning environment designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional academic setting. The academy focuses on providing individualized instruction and behavior intervention strategies, aiming to help students overcome academic hurdles and social-emotional challenges while staying on track toward graduation.

The school is structured to provide a more intimate and focused educational experience than a standard comprehensive high school. By maintaining smaller class sizes and utilizing a dedicated staff of educators and support personnel, Keifer Academy emphasizes academic recovery, personal growth, and the development of life skills. Its primary mission is to offer a supportive pathway for students to succeed in an environment tailored to meet their specific needs, ensuring they remain engaged in their education and prepared for their future beyond high school.
