Kelloggsville Middle School

Summary:

Kelloggsville Middle School is a public middle school serving around 450 students in grades 6-8 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The school faces significant challenges, including a highly diverse student population, low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, Kelloggsville Middle School stands out for its racial diversity, with a student body that is 15.78% White, 27.33% African American, 44.44% Hispanic, 4.44% Asian, and 7.56% two or more races. However, this diversity is not reflected in the school's academic outcomes, as it consistently performs below state averages on standardized tests like the M-Step and PSAT. For example, in 2023-2024, only 17.7% of 6th graders and 17.6% of 7th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 37.5% and 37.9%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state, with only 8.1% of 6th graders and 4.86% of 7th graders scoring proficient or better.

Kelloggsville Middle School's challenges extend beyond academics, with high chronic absenteeism rates reaching as high as 51.3% in the 2021-2022 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, which generally have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 86.22% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school has seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, reaching $14,825 in the 2022-2023 school year, this higher spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
