Kellison Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fenton, Missouri, serving 377 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Rockwood R-VI School District, which is ranked 27th out of 367 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kellison Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 212 out of 900 schools. The school's performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests is generally above the state average, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, over 50% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scored proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of around 40%. However, the school's performance on English Language Arts (ELA) assessments is more mixed, with 3rd and 4th grade scores below the Rockwood R-VI district average, but 5th grade scores exceeding the district average.

Kellison Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools for its performance with special education and disabled students, indicating strong support and services for these student populations. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 20.27% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly lower than the state average and some nearby schools like High Ridge Elementary and Brennan Woods Elementary. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.3% in 2023-2024 to 18.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.
