Trailridge Middle

Summary:

Trailridge Middle is a public middle school located in Shawnee, Kansas, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 701 students. It is part of the Shawnee Mission Public School District, which is ranked 46th out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Trailridge Middle has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Multi-racial students performing better than Hispanic students and students with disabilities. Additionally, Trailridge Middle has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a growing population of students from lower-income families.

Compared to nearby schools, Trailridge Middle's academic performance is lower than Indian Woods Middle and Indian Hills Middle, which are also part of the Shawnee Mission district. When compared to middle schools in the Olathe and De Soto school districts, Trailridge Middle's performance is significantly lower. However, the school has seen a recent improvement in its student-teacher ratio, which may help address some of its academic performance challenges.

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.
