Summary

DeltonKellogg High School is a mid-sized public high school in Delton, MI, serving 332 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Delton Kellogg Schools district. The school has been on an upward trajectory recently, moving from the 48th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, placing it solidly in the middle of Michigan high schools.

One of the most impressive things about DeltonKellogg is its graduation rate. At 97.3% for the 2024-2025 school year, it far exceeds the state average of 84.0% and beats nearby schools like Plainwell High School (94.2%), Hastings High School (88.8%), and Parchment High School (90.6%). The dropout rate of 2.7% is correspondingly low. The school also shows genuine strengths in Science and Social Studies, with 11th-grade proficiency rates that meet or exceed state averages. Interestingly, the school ranks in the 68th percentile for male students—a notable strength, since boys often lag behind in many schools—while female students rank in the 37th percentile.

The biggest challenge is mathematics. Only 13.2% of 11th graders were proficient on the SAT Math exam in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 26.5%—a gap that has persisted for several years. This is especially stark when compared to Gull Lake High School, just 8.9 miles away, where 42.7% of students are proficient in math. However, it's worth noting that DeltonKellogg serves a student body with higher economic need (46.4% free/reduced lunch) than Gull Lake (27.6%). The district's alternative school, DK Academy, serves a higher-need population with a 69.7% graduation rate, which makes DeltonKellogg's strong graduation numbers even more meaningful. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment where students graduate at exceptional rates and perform well in science and social studies, though math support is an area worth investigating.
