Summary:

There is only one elementary school located in the 49046 zip code - Delton Kellogg Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-4. The school faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

Delton Kellogg Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by M-STEP proficiency rates, has been declining over the past few years. In the 2023-2024 school year, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 38.3% (compared to the state average of 39.6%), and 4th grade ELA proficiency was 36.5% (compared to the state average of 43.3%).

The school also had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.8% in the 2022-2023 school year, which can significantly impact student learning and achievement.

Delton Kellogg Elementary School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with nearly 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the school's lack of diversity (the student population is predominantly White), suggests that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to help students overcome these barriers and improve their educational outcomes. The school's spending per student of $14,097 in 2022-2023 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.1 to 1 indicate that the school has resources available, but the focus should be on implementing effective strategies to address the identified challenges and improve the overall performance of the school.
