Indian Trail Elementary School

Summary:

Indian Trail Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 329 students in grades PK-6 in Downers Grove, Illinois, which is part of the Downers Grove GSD 58 district.

While Indian Trail Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, its academic performance lags behind the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 43% of students were proficient or better in ELA compared to 61.5% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly weak in 3rd grade ELA, where only 21.4% of students were proficient compared to 49.9% for the district and 30.6% for the state. However, the school's 6th grade ELA performance is stronger, with 55.8% of students proficient compared to 70.3% for the district and 46.7% for the state. Additionally, Indian Trail Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools for its special education program.

Interestingly, Indian Trail Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Fairmount Elementary School and Hillcrest Elementary School, which are also part of the Downers Grove GSD 58 district. The school also has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status students compared to the district and state averages, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. Despite having a higher per-student spending of $17,415 in 2022-2023, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.4 in 2022-2023 is lower than the nearby schools, suggesting the additional spending may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
