Summary

Kelloggsville Middle School in Grand Rapids, MI, serves 475 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Kelloggsville Public Schools district, where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most pressing challenges at Kelloggsville Middle is chronic absenteeism. In the 2024-2025 school year, 54.6% of students were chronically absent—nearly double the state average of 27.9% and higher than most nearby schools like Wyoming Junior High School (47.8%) and Valleywood Middle School (41.3%). This high rate of missed school days is strongly linked to the school's low academic performance, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 15th percentile statewide over the past five years. For example, only 21.1% of 6th graders were proficient in ELA on the M-Step, compared to the state average of 37.5%, and math proficiency was even lower, with just 9.5% of 6th graders and 8.3% of 7th graders meeting standards.

Despite these challenges, there are some bright spots. Kelloggsville's 8th graders showed relative strength on the PSAT English Language Arts exam, with 42.4% proficient in 2025-2026—comparable to Lee Middle School (43.7%) and Wyoming Junior High School (43.1%). Additionally, 8th-grade social studies proficiency improved significantly, jumping from 10% in 2023-2024 to 27.8% in 2025-2026. However, the school spends less per student ($14,862) than many peers, including Crestwood Middle School ($18,139) and Lee Middle School ($18,654). For parents, the most urgent takeaway is the need to address chronic absenteeism, which remains the biggest barrier to student success at Kelloggsville.
