The school began as a small temporary structure in the late 1920s and was rebuilt in its current building in 1937. The school is named after Chicago teacher Kate Starr Kellogg, a pioneer in education and social reform, who participated in unionization and suffrage movements in the early part of the 20th century. Kellogg Elementary School seeks to develop students with skills to become resourceful and productive learners. The school fosters an equitable, inclusive and diverse learning environment through strong family and community partnerships.

Kellogg is a fantastic small school, with caring and dedicated teachers. Given its' size, students are really able to receive personalized attention. Glad there are more options for after school activities and sports in the past few years. Principal is fantastic and readily responds to calls and emails.
