Summary:
Kelloggsville Public Schools in Michigan has only one middle school, Kelloggsville Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance is concerning, as it is consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan middle schools and has significantly lower academic proficiency rates compared to state averages.
Kelloggsville Middle School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies range from just 8.3% to 23.6%, well below the state averages of 31.5% to 47%. The school's PSAT scores also lag behind, with only 35.3% and 8.5% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively, compared to state averages of 65.3% and 30.4%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,485 and a reasonable student-teacher ratio of 17.5, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's struggles are likely exacerbated by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 89.49%, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Addressing the complex issues facing Kelloggsville Public Schools will require targeted interventions and support to improve student engagement, academic achievement, and overall school performance.
