Summary:
Kellogg Joint District in Idaho has just one middle school, Kellogg Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 with 238 students. The school is located in a community where 55.46% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.5. As the only middle school in the district, Kellogg Middle School's performance essentially defines the district's middle school profile.
Kellogg Middle School currently ranks in the 9th percentile statewide with 0 stars, a significant decline from the 28th percentile and 1 star in 2017-2018. In 2025-2026, math proficiency is just 20.9% versus the state average of 43.1%, and English language arts proficiency is 34.6% compared to the state's 54.0%. Grade-level data shows 6th graders struggle most in math at 15.0% proficiency, while 7th graders lead in ELA at 38.6%. Science is a relative strength, with 8th grade science proficiency at 41.5%, nearly matching the state average of 42.9%.
The most concerning issue is chronic absenteeism, which reached a staggering 50.2% in 2023-2024 compared to the state rate of 13.8%. Frequent absences almost certainly contribute to the school's low test scores. On a positive note, math proficiency improved slightly from 18.2% in 2024-2025 to 20.9% in 2025-2026, and the district's overall ranking of 28th percentile statewide shows broader challenges across Kellogg Joint District. The big picture is that Kellogg Middle School has a promising science program to build on, but needs targeted intervention in math and a serious focus on improving attendance.
