Delton Kellogg Schools

The Delton Kellogg Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across the district, with some schools standing out for their performance while others face significant obstacles.

DeltonKellogg High School emerges as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 329 out of 739 Michigan high schools and outperforming the district and state averages on several 11th-grade assessments. In contrast, DK Academy, the alternative high school, lags behind significantly, with much lower test scores and a 1-star rating. This disparity in high school performance suggests the need for a closer examination of the resources and educational approaches at DK Academy to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

A concerning trend across the district is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate, nearly double the state average, which requires immediate attention and targeted interventions. Additionally, Delton Kellogg Elementary School has seen a decline in its M-Step English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates for 3rd and 4th grades, falling below the state averages. This decline warrants further investigation and the implementation of targeted interventions to address the underlying causes and improve student performance at the elementary level.
