Indian Trail Middle School

Summary:

Indian Trail Middle School is a public middle school located in Olathe, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 609. It is part of the Olathe School District, which is ranked 55 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Indian Trail Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the Olathe district and the state of Kansas in terms of proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 25.69% in ELA, 22.04% in Math, and 20.85% in Science, while the Olathe district and Kansas state averages were significantly higher. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 152 out of 368 Kansas middle schools in 2018-2019 to 211 out of 362 in 2023-2024.

The data also reveals notable performance gaps between different student subgroups at Indian Trail Middle School. While African American students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top 27-24 out of 73 Kansas middle schools in the last three years, Hispanic students and English Language Learners have struggled, ranking in the bottom 50 out of 144 and 65 Kansas middle schools, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year. Students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds have also underperformed compared to their peers in the state. Nearby Summit Trail Middle School and other Olathe district schools have consistently outperformed Indian Trail Middle School, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in addressing the needs of its diverse student population and providing the necessary resources and support for student success.

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.
