Summary

Delta Kelly Elementary School in Oakland, MI, is a high-performing PK-5 school with 643 students, part of the highly ranked Rochester Community School District (ranked 27th out of 625 districts in Michigan). The school consistently earns a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and posts proficiency rates well above both district and state averages across most subjects and grade levels.

Delta Kelly’s standout strength is early mathematics. In 3rd grade, math proficiency hit 84.2%—a remarkable 41.3 points above the state average and 12.5 points above the district average. This strong math foundation continues through 4th and 5th grades, where scores also exceed district averages. The school also shines in supporting diverse learners, ranking in the top 10% statewide for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students. Chronic absenteeism is low at 14%, less than half the state average, reflecting strong student engagement. However, there is one notable dip: 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (63.1%) falls 7.2 points below the district average, a trend also seen in prior years. This suggests a potential area for targeted support as students transition to upper elementary grades.

Delta Kelly sits in a competitive local landscape. Just 2.14 miles away, Musson Elementary School ranks an extraordinary 11th in the state and outperforms Delta Kelly in nearly every subject—for example, 81.1% vs. 71.7% in 5th-grade math. Meanwhile, a stark contrast emerges just 4.5 miles away at Rogers School in the Pontiac City School District, where proficiency rates are in the single digits and low 20s, and chronic absenteeism is 65.6%. While Delta Kelly has seen a slight dip from its peak state ranking (27th in 2015-2016 to 66th now), it remains a top-tier choice—though families seeking the absolute highest test scores in the area may also want to explore nearby Musson.
