Summary
Kellogg Middle School serves 991 students in grades 6–8 in Shoreline, Washington, within the highly ranked Shoreline School District. SchoolDigger ranks the district 16th of 238 in the state, while Kellogg is rated four stars and ranks 99th of 514 schools. Its 2025–26 results are above state proficiency rates in all three subjects, but below district results and the average for nearby schools serving the same grades in every subject—most notably in science.
Math is Kellogg’s strongest subject compared with nearby peers, while science is its weakest. Kellogg’s proficiency was about 54% in math, 60% in ELA and 57% in science; all three rates exceed Washington’s, by 11, 8 and 6 percentage points, respectively. But the school trails the district by 6 points in math, 7 in ELA and 9 in science. Compared with seven nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Kellogg is 8 points below their average in math, 11 below in ELA and 14 below in science. It is below every one of those schools in ELA and science; in math, it exceeds only two. Its results are above the state’s, but that comparison alone misses the gap with local schools.
Kellogg’s scores have weakened from earlier highs, and its advantage over the state has narrowed. Since 2022–23, ELA has fallen 13 points, while math and science are each down about 1 point across the period’s endpoints; science rose substantially before falling back. SchoolDigger’s standing also declined from the 91st percentile in 2023–24 to the 81st in 2025–26, the second-lowest among 10 nearby schools with current rankings. Kellogg has the highest reported student-teacher ratio among nearby schools, at 23.2, and the lowest reported spending, at $15,206 per student. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 35%, an observation that provides context, not an explanation for scores. One subgroup finding stands out: SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves students from low socioeconomic backgrounds relative to the same group elsewhere fell to the 53rd percentile in 2025–26 from the 92nd three years earlier, compared with the school’s 81st-percentile overall ranking.
