Summary:

Indian Trails Middle School is a public middle school in Winter Springs, Florida, serving 1,197 students in grades 6-8. As part of the highly-ranked Seminole County School District, Indian Trails consistently outperforms state and district averages on standardized tests, particularly in subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Civics.

While Indian Trails boasts strong academic performance, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.1% in 2019-2020 to 22.4% in 2022-2023 - higher than nearby schools like Sanford Middle (18.3%) and Rock Lake Middle (16.7%).

Additionally, Indian Trails serves a relatively high percentage of students (44.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than some nearby schools like Chiles Middle (26.84%) but lower than others like Millennium Middle (70.38%) and South Seminole Middle (69.45%).

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.
