Summary

Delton Kellogg Elementary School in Delton, MI, serves 405 students in Pre-K through 4th grade within the Delton Kellogg Schools district, a mid-sized school where over half of students (55.56%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most pressing concern for parents is the school's dramatic academic decline in the most recent school year. After showing gradual improvement from 2021-2022 through 2023-2024, rising to the 47th percentile statewide, the school plummeted to the 17th percentile in 2025-2026. This drop is visible across core subjects: 3rd-grade reading proficiency fell from 28% to 15.9%, and 3rd-grade math fell from 36% to 15.9% in just one year. The decline is especially sharp for male students (7th percentile) and white students (3rd percentile). For comparison, nearby Northeastern Elementary School in the Hastings Area School District achieved 45.8% proficiency in 3rd-grade reading and 64.6% in math during the same period. Even Central Elementary School, which serves a similar percentage of economically disadvantaged students (66.53%), outperforms Delton Kellogg in most areas.

Chronic absenteeism is another significant challenge, with 29.3% of students missing substantial school time—higher than the state average (27.9%) and far above nearby schools like Star Elementary School (9.4%) and Thomas M Ryan Intermediate School (12.6%). Notably, the school spends more per student ($13,383) than several higher-performing neighbors, including Richland Elementary School in the Gull Lake Community Schools district, suggesting resources alone aren't driving results. While the school's district holds a modest 2-star rating, parents should investigate recent changes in curriculum, leadership, or student dynamics that may explain this sharp reversal, and ask what specific interventions are planned to address both attendance and academic recovery.
