Summary

Kellogg Middle is a public middle school in Rochester, Minnesota, serving 781 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Rochester Public School District, which is ranked 197 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kellogg Middle has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, with its highest ranking being 122 out of 521 Minnesota middle schools in the 2020-2021 school year. However, the school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly for certain student subgroups. For example, in 2024-2025, Kellogg Middle's overall Math proficiency rate is 36.85%, compared to 41.66% for the Rochester Public School District and 45.21% for the state. The school's performance also varies across grade levels and subject areas, with 8th-grade students generally performing better than 6th and 7th graders.

Kellogg Middle's performance on the MCA-III assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups. Asian students at the school consistently perform well, ranking in the top 31-28 out of 106-111 Minnesota middle schools in the past three years. In contrast, African American, Hispanic, and Multi-racial students at Kellogg Middle perform significantly below the state average, ranking in the bottom quartile of Minnesota middle schools. English Language Learners and students with Low Socioeconomic Status also struggle, ranking in the bottom third of Minnesota middle schools. Kellogg Middle's high free and reduced lunch rate, which has increased from 30.97% in 2021-2022 to 43.02% in 2023-2024, may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, particularly for the "Low Socioeconomic Status Students" subgroup.
