Summary:
The 83837 zip code is home to a single middle school, Kellogg Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Kellogg Joint District. While the school has a relatively small student population of 248, its academic performance has been a concern, with consistently low proficiency rates in core subjects and a declining statewide ranking over the past few years.
Kellogg Middle School's academic struggles are evident across multiple metrics. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 72 out of 100 Idaho middle schools in 2017-2018 to 155 out of 166 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts are significantly below the state averages, with only 18.2% of students proficient or better in ISAT Math in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 43.1%. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0%, which can further contribute to learning challenges.
While the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are slightly above the state averages, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 31.85%, may be a contributing factor to the school's performance, as economic disadvantage is often associated with lower educational outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Kellogg Middle School faces significant challenges in supporting student learning and engagement, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the educational experience for the students in this community.
