Summary:
The four schools in River Trails School District 26 serve students from PK through grade 8: three elementary schools and one middle school, with 1,462 students enrolled altogether. The most important distinction is between the two tested elementary schools: in 2025–26, Indian Grove led Euclid by 25 percentage points in all-grades ELA and 20 points in math.
Indian Grove Elementary School stands out academically: its all-grades results were 70% in ELA and 65% in math, compared with 45% in each subject at Euclid Elementary School. The gap was especially wide in upper-elementary ELA: Indian Grove led by 29 points in grade 4 and 31 points in grade 5. It also led in grade 5 science, 59% to 41%. River Trails Middle School had a strong math profile: grades 6 and 7 were 25 and 17 points above state results, though its grade 8 ELA result was 2 points below the state. Prairie Trails School serves PK–K and has no test-score results supplied, so it cannot be academically ranked.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26: River Trails Middle gained 11 points in ELA and 8 in math; Indian Grove gained 5 in ELA but fell 1 in math; Euclid gained 1 in ELA and fell 5 in math. SchoolDigger ranks Indian Grove 351st of 1,737 schools (80th percentile), River Trails Middle 338th of 1,126 (70th percentile), and Euclid 1,065th of 1,737 (39th percentile); their percentiles shifted from 77 to 80, 75 to 70, and 48 to 39, respectively, since 2023–24. As context, the 2024–25 student-teacher ratios were 12.0 at Indian Grove and 9.8 at Euclid; their free/reduced lunch eligible figures for that school year were 22% and 43%. These context measures are observations, not explanations for test results.
