Delton Kellogg Schools

The Delton Kellogg Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The data reveals significant disparities in performance and outcomes between the schools, with Delton Kellogg Elementary School and DK Academy struggling across various measures compared to the stronger performance of DeltonKellogg High School and DeltonKellogg Middle School.

Delton Kellogg Elementary School stands out with the highest student enrollment, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and below-average test scores, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. In contrast, DeltonKellogg High School has a strong four-year graduation rate of 93.2%, but also a relatively high dropout rate of 6.7%. The alternative high school, DK Academy, faces significant challenges, with a low graduation rate of 60.8%, a high chronic absenteeism rate of 69.6%, and an exceptionally high student-teacher ratio of 75:1.

Across the Delton Kellogg Schools district, there are concerns about equity and access, as the data indicates a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the lower-performing schools. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and targeted interventions to support student success, particularly in the struggling schools, should be key priorities for the district.
