Summary

Ann J Kellogg School is an elementary school in Battle Creek, MI, serving 348 students in grades 3 through 6 as part of the Battle Creek Public Schools district.

Ann J Kellogg School faces significant challenges that parents should understand. The school's academic performance has been consistently in the bottom 6th percentile or lower statewide over the past decade, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math often less than half of Michigan's state averages. For example, in the most recent school year, only 13.8% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state's 38.2%, and math proficiency was just 10.5% versus the state's 42.9%. Perhaps the most striking concern is chronic absenteeism: nearly half of students (47.7%) were chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year, a rate almost double the state average and more than twice that of nearby Fremont International Academy (22.0%) and Riverside Elementary School (21.8%). This attendance crisis has persisted above 44% for five consecutive years and is likely a major driver of the low academic outcomes.

There are some important comparisons that offer context. Endeavor Charter Academy, located just over two miles away, serves a student population with nearly identical economic disadvantage (81.48% free/reduced lunch) yet achieves proficiency rates that are often double or triple those at Ann J Kellogg—for instance, 52.8% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA there versus 13.4% at Ann J Kellogg. This suggests that school-level factors like curriculum and climate matter greatly. Additionally, Ann J Kellogg spends a substantial $21,369 per student, higher than Endeavor's $14,094, yet outcomes remain low. On a more positive note, the school's African American students performed relatively better than other subgroups, ranking in the 22nd percentile in 2024-2025. However, a dramatic drop in 6th-grade ELA proficiency to just 3.57% (down from 19.3% in 5th grade) signals a critical transition point that families should be aware of when considering this school.
