Schools in Zip Code 83837

Zip code 83837 is home to two public schools in the Kellogg Joint District, serving grades 6 through 12 with no elementary or alternative schools in the area. Kellogg High School (grades 9–12, 289 students) is the stronger performer, ranking in the 29th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, a sharp jump from the 5th percentile the year before. It boasts an 82.5% graduation rate, matching the state average, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 11.4%. In contrast, Kellogg Middle School (grades 6–8, 238 students) ranks in the 9th percentile and faces severe challenges, with more than half of its students (50.2%) chronically absent and 55.5% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the high school outperforms the middle school across math and English language arts. In 2025–2026, high school math proficiency was 32.8%, nearly matching the state average of 33.1%, while ELA proficiency reached 51.7% versus 61.3% statewide. The middle school's math proficiency was just 20.9% (state: 43.1%) and ELA 34.6% (state: 54.0%). The middle school's grade-level breakdown shows 6th graders at 15.0% math proficiency, rising slightly to 23.9% in 7th and 8th grades. One bright spot: 8th-grade science proficiency at the middle school was 41.5%, essentially tied with the state average of 42.9%.

The middle school's chronic absenteeism is a stark differentiator—over four times higher than the high school's—and heavily impacts its low rankings, which have declined from the 28th percentile in 2017–2018 to 9th percentile today. The high school receives more per-student funding ($12,969 vs. $11,421) and has a better student-teacher ratio (13.9 vs. 15.5), despite the middle school having higher poverty and absenteeism—an equity concern. Math is the most pressing academic weakness at both schools, with proficiency rates hovering near 20–33%, well below state averages. While the high school's graduation rate is healthy, its test scores suggest many students graduate without reaching statewide proficiency benchmarks, particularly in science and math.
