This school is ok, but there are a lot of bad qualities. Last year, we had multiple actual lockdowns because of people entering our campus without permission, so I would say that it is kind of not the safest place, but is safe in some situations. Our school got on the news a few times because there have been a couple of fights, and another reason was that the staff has caught kids in the bathrooms doing things such as vaping. On the other hand, we have had at least 3 fights, but no lockdowns or anything along the lines of that. One reason I think the Special ed programs are ok is that many kids in our school have 504 plans, and they are ignored. That sucks because many people need help with focusing, but that is neglected by some teachers. One thing that many students and teachers are concerned about is the hole of debt that is getting deeper and deeper. We have had fundraisers and ways to get more money, but we still haven't been able to fix the problem. Another problem we have is that sometimes the boys of our school mess around in the bathrooms and then they get closed, meaning you most likely will have to walk halfway across the school just to use the bathroom. The problem with that is we have a limit for how long you can go out of the classroom to use the bathroom. The expectation is that you take 5 minutes max, but when the bathrooms near you are closed, you have to spend at least 5 minutes walking to the bathroom, 5 minutes to use the bathroom, and then 5 minutes back. That means you are out of the class for a very long time, and that means your teacher is mad at you for being out for a while, and you also missed 15 minutes of learning that you may have needed for a lesson. Another design flaw of our bathrooms is that the faucet is too close part of the sink, so while you're washing your hands, you're getting your hands dirty again. Teachers tell you to have a growth mindset, but it is almost physically impossible to when you are exposed to our school environment, AKA one of the worst school environments you could imagine. One final thing about our school. The wifi here is so spotty, that it's like playing roulette with working wifi. So, as you can see, Kellogg needs some work on a lot of major and minor issues.

My kid entered this school at the 2nd grade, he has excelled at math and writing. I recommend this school to most kids.

It is unsafe, and there are psychopaths in the administration. Stay away!
