The teacher are great but the principal has to go.. Ms. Francis was the best, Damron was just a bad mistake. Instead of working to help students she helps herself. Doctor I think not!!

Kellogg has much to offer. The teachers are all wonderful. I do however think that the greatest downfall of a school it's size is the vertical grouping. Kellogg students are left in the same group of children from kindergarten-5th grade. If by the luck of the draw or the hand that picks your child is put in a "good group" you may not notice the difference. I feel that leaving children in the same classroom for six years will hinder more than their social skills. I feel that too many children are being left behind because teachers have to teach to the middle group. To me a wonderful school would recognize that some children need more help while others need to be challenged. Teachers are often overloaded with behavioral, emotional, and learning disabilities with little to no extra help. Anyone who believes that no child is being left behind needs to spend a day in the classroom. I say no to vertical grouping!

We as parents are still getting a school supply list. They now call it a "Wish List". Our taxes should be buying these essential items. If there isn't enough money in the budget, then they should cut some fat/ dead-weight out! If Cabell Co. gave give each student a backpack full of supplies, then Wayne Co. should be able too!

I love Kellogg Elementary because the children are wonderful and full of Tiger Pride! Everywhere I go around town I see Tiger Paw prints on people's cars .. letting everyone know they are part of Kellogg Elementary. It makes me smile to see a community so proud and connected!

Because this family we have here is always ready to help one another through all things that have a need. IF something is in need at our school we find a way to fill that need and fill it well. we love our school and community, we are #1 in the county. I can't imagine sending my kid anywhere else.

i have a child that started kindergarten this year. I couldn't be more impressed with his education. I love his teacher, she is so on top of things. The safety precautions that they have in place are wonderful.

I have one child in the first grade at Kellogg and one getting ready to start school and couldn't be more happy with the school, the staff, and all the new technology. It is an awsome school!

Our family recently moved into the area. I have three children who are attending. I am not happy with this school. The children are not allowed enough gross motor play time outside. The school is understaffed, with no aides to help the teachers in the classroom or on the playground. There are too many other issues to go into on here as well.

I have 3 children who all have attended or are attending Kellogg. I have the highest regard for the staff & faculty here. The parents also are wonderful and willing to work and do whatever is necessary to help make Kellogg great. Kellogg is ranked a school of excellence and an exemplary school. This has been achieved because of the combination of faculty, staff & parents. I highly recommend Kellogg Elementary School.
