Summary

Central Kelloggsville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 501 students in grades 3-5 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The school is part of the Kelloggsville Public Schools district, which is ranked 535 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central Kelloggsville Elementary consistently underperforms the state average on M-Step assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.4% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 38.9%, and only 10.5% of 5th graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 32.9%. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.0% to 36.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.65% to 92.22% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

The challenges faced by Central Kelloggsville Elementary appear to be systemic within the Kelloggsville Public Schools district, as the nearby West Kelloggsville School and Southeast Kelloggsville School have similar demographic and performance characteristics. Despite the high percentage of students from low-income families, Central Kelloggsville Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $12,542 to $13,947 per year, suggesting that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding or resources. The school's low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and struggles to serve diverse student populations indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement in areas such as instructional practices, student engagement, and targeted support for underperforming student groups.
