Summary

Indian Trail Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving about 303 students in Spokane, WA, operating as a solid, mid-performing school within the larger Spokane School District.

The school is distinguished by its notably strong support for students from lower-income families, who historically perform very well here, and its mathematics scores, which are consistently higher than the district average. While its overall academic performance is stable, an interesting finding is that its science scores are an area for potential growth, as they currently lag behind both district and state averages. The school operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio and demonstrates cost-effectiveness, achieving its results with lower per-student spending than some neighboring schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Indian Trail presents a unique profile. It outperforms several schools in the same district, like Madison Elementary and Ridgeview Elementary, particularly in math. However, it does not reach the higher performance levels of other close neighbors such as Westview Elementary or Balboa Elementary, which achieve stronger results despite serving student populations with similar or greater economic needs. Furthermore, schools in the neighboring Mead School District, like Skyline Elementary, outperform all local Spokane district schools, highlighting a significant district-level effect on school performance.

First-hand Documentation of criminal harassment, hate incident, mob mentality, intimidation, gangland, vandalism, graffiti, littering, burn markings, and a dangerous antisocial environment that is not safe for anybody. Keep your kids and those you care about safe and away from this "school". This is what happens to you if you are minding your own business and you walk down a street associated with this "school".

Open Quote One teacher's note on our child's report card was "Coolest kid I have ever met". Really? Our student is still struggling with writing and math. Perhaps we could focus on teaching as opposed to whether or not you like my kid. Teachers at Indian Trail need to TEACH. Teach for the love of pete. You have more parent support than you know what to do with. You have my kid for 6 hours a day and you can't find a little bit of time to teach? Teachers are the weakest link at this school. Try somewhere else if you can. Close Quote
