Trailridge Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Missouri, with rankings ranging from 55th to 302nd out of over 900 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally higher than the Lee's Summit R-VII district and the state of Missouri averages, particularly in mathematics and science.

The school has also consistently ranked among the top Missouri elementary schools for its performance with African American and White student subgroups.

While Trailridge Elementary has been a high-performing school, its ranking has declined in recent years, from 61st in 2018-2019 to 302nd in 2023-2024. This potential decline in performance compared to other Missouri elementary schools is an area that the school and district may want to investigate further. Compared to nearby schools within the Lee's Summit R-VII district, such as Cedar Creek Elementary and Hawthorn Hill Elementary, Trailridge Elementary generally outperforms its peers on academic measures, but these nearby schools also demonstrate strong academic performance and could provide useful insights or best practices.

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.

Open Quote Some teachers are very helpful and really work with parents to help the student achieve. They need more resources to help students who are having difficulty with school work. The front desk ladies need to be nicer to parents. Close Quote

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.
