Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from the traditional school setting?

KEYS High School offers the opportunity for students who have dropped out or are "at-risk" of dropping out of school to complete required coursework needed for high school graduation. Individualized instruction, and a quality, caring staff are the keynotes to this approach.

Is the curriculum the same as a traditional school?

KEYS High School follows the TEKS, just as the regular school campus in the core academic areas. We offer a limited selection of electives. In many ways, accelerated instruction is harder for many students because they must have the discipline to work independently. Hallmark features of KEYS include: self-paced course work, individualized curriculum, computer-assisted instruction, continual progress, and smaller classes.

Who qualifies to apply for admission to this school?

KEYS student admission is based on an application and interview process.  You may request an application through your home campus counselor.  All parts of the application must be completed.

Note: It is important that all parties in the application process know that attending KEYS is a PRIVILEGE! It may be the last resort for a student to stay in school. If a KEYS student is not regularly attending class, is truant, or if the student is not ready for the individualized responsibility of this learning environment, the student will be asked to find another school to attend or return to their home campus.

How many credits are needed to graduate from a traditional school versus KEYS?

L.D. Bell and Trinity High Schools require 26 credits.

KEYS requires 22 credits.  All KEYS students graduate under the minimum state, or Foundations graduation plan. KEYS has limited electives, and no extra-curricular activities. We do not have advanced placement classes.

What are the fees for attending KEYS High School?

The $36.00 fee includes: parking sticker, mailing fees, ID, transcript, and all materials in excess of minimum requirements.  ALL FEES MUST BE PAID BEFORE ENROLLMENT IS COMPLETE.

Does KEYS have a cafeteria?

Yes. The cafeteria serves a hot entree, plus Gatorade and snack items are also available. If you are on free/reduced meals at your present school, you still qualify at KEYS. For an application, please see Ms. Smith, the registrar, or fill out the online application on KEYS website.

Is there bus service to KEYS High School?

Yes, speak to Mrs. Smith, our Registrar, for this information. You must live at least 2 miles from KEYS and there are designated bus stops. Buses do not pick up at the door.
