High school graduates in Barry, Branch and Calhoun counties continue to choose Kellogg Community College more than any other college or university in the state!
That’s according to the latest official education data from MI School Data, an online dashboard from the State of Michigan that reports educational information, including College Enrollment Destination data showing which colleges Michigan high school students are attending.
According to MI School Data’s recently released 2023-24 report, KCC was by far the most popular postsecondary destination for regional high school graduates, enrolling more than six and half times as many high school graduates in the Calhoun Intermediate School District as the next highest institution!
KCC is also the No. 1 destination for students in the Barry Intermediate School District and the Branch Intermediate School District.
