Summary:
Kellogg Joint District serves one high school, Kellogg High School, which educates students in grades 9–12 in the small community of Kellogg, Idaho, with an enrollment of 289 students. Because this is the district’s only high school, all school-level statistics are identical to the district’s high school metrics, so the most meaningful comparisons are against state averages.
In the most recent ranking year (2025–2026), Kellogg High School ranked 87th out of 122 Idaho high schools (29th percentile, 1 star), a significant improvement from the prior year when it ranked 106th out of 112 (5th percentile, 0 stars). The school still sits in the bottom third of the state, but the upward movement is a positive sign. Academically, English Language Arts is the strongest subject: 51.7% of students were proficient on the 2025–2026 End of Course exam, compared to the state’s 61.3%. Math proficiency on the same exam reached 32.8%, nearly matching the state’s 33.1% and showing strong growth from the previous year’s 20.4% “all grades” score. Science remains the biggest concern, with only 26.7% proficient versus the state’s 41.2%. The graduation rate is exactly the state average at 82.5%.
Chronic absenteeism in the district was remarkably low at 0.6% in 2025–2026, far better than the state’s 13.8%, though the school’s own rate was 11.4% in 2023–2024, so this recent figure should be viewed with some caution. Nearly 47% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating substantial economic need. With a student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 and per-student spending of $12,969 (from 2018–2019), the school provides meaningful resources. Overall, Kellogg High School shows early signs of recovery, with attendance as a clear strength and math improving, but science proficiency and overall state ranking remain areas that need continued attention.
