Summary

DeltonKellogg Middle School in Delton, MI, serves 293 students in grades 5 through 8 within the Delton Kellogg Schools district, and has recently earned its best state ranking in years, placing in the 58th percentile with a 3-star rating.

One of the most notable strengths at DeltonKellogg is its success with students from low-income backgrounds. In the most recent school year, this group performed in the 64th percentile statewide—even higher than the school's overall ranking—showing the school is particularly effective at supporting these students. This is especially meaningful given that about 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than at nearby schools like Thornapple Kellogg Middle School (39%) or Plainwell Middle School (32%). Despite serving a higher-need population, DeltonKellogg's overall performance is nearly identical to Plainwell's, suggesting the school is effectively closing opportunity gaps. Another bright spot is 8th-grade English on the PSAT, where 75.4% of students are proficient—well above the state average and higher than several higher-ranked neighbors like Wayland Union Middle School (65.1%).

However, there are areas of concern. Math proficiency consistently lags behind state averages across all grade levels—for example, only 21.3% of 5th graders are proficient in math compared to 32.2% statewide. There is also a persistent gender gap, with boys outperforming girls by a wide margin (67th vs. 40th percentile). On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 35.9% to 20.7%, now better than the state average and several nearby schools. When compared to GalesburgAugusta Middle School—the only other school in the area with the same 5-8 grade configuration—DeltonKellogg comes out ahead in overall ranking (58th vs. 38th percentile), particularly in 7th-grade English. The school also achieves respectable results with moderate funding ($15,492 per student), outperforming schools that spend significantly more.
