Over the past decade, Kellogg Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Idaho middle schools, with its highest ranking being 59th out of 100 in the 2014-2015 school year.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 15.0% in 2023-2024 to 50.2% in the same school year, which is nearly double the state average of 27.5%. Academically, Kellogg Middle School's performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math (18.2%), Science (38%), and English Language Arts (35%) were all significantly lower than the state averages of 43.1%, 42.6%, and 53.9%, respectively.

Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 31.85% to 39.19% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average of around 50%. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $11,421 in 2018-2019, the student-teacher ratio has fluctuated between 16.9 and 19.2 over the past three years, which is higher than the state average of around 15 students per teacher. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges it faces and improve educational outcomes for its students.
