Summary

Indian Trail Elementary School is a highly successful public elementary school serving grades 1-4 in Frankfort, Illinois. With 309 students, the school consistently outperforms state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 72.2% and 73% of students proficient or better, respectively. This strong academic performance has earned Indian Trail Elementary a ranking of 209 out of 2,056 elementary schools in Illinois and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the standout features of Indian Trail Elementary is its exceptional performance across various student subgroups. The school ranks 10th out of 688 Illinois elementary schools for African American students, 46th out of 982 for Hispanic students, and 50th out of 1,800 for students of low socioeconomic status. This suggests a strong focus on equity and inclusive practices, which is a notable achievement and a model for other schools to emulate. However, the school's recent increase in chronic absenteeism to 25.4% may indicate a need to address attendance-related issues.

When compared to nearby schools, Indian Trail Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution. For example, Frankfort Square Elementary School, which is also part of the Summit Hill School District 161, has similar academic performance, while schools in the neighboring Frankfort CCSD 157C district, such as Chelsea Elementary School, also demonstrate strong academic results.
