Kellogg Middle

Summary:

Kellogg Middle is a public middle school located in Rochester, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 856 students. The school is part of the Rochester Public School District, which is ranked 205 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kellogg Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 52.8% White, 15.19% African American, 12.5% Hispanic, and 8.64% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, has declined over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 122 out of 521 Minnesota middle schools in 2020-2021 to 241 out of 545 in 2023-2024. Kellogg Middle's math, reading, and science proficiency rates are lower than the district and state averages, and there are significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and low-income students.

While Kellogg Middle has a more diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Stewartville Middle and Dover-Eyota Middle School, its academic performance is generally lower. Schools like Plainview-Elgin-Millville Junior and Byron Middle School, which serve more homogeneous student populations, outperform Kellogg Middle on these measures. Additionally, Kellogg Middle has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 24.2% in 2020-2021 to 42.99% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families, which may present additional challenges for the school.

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.
