Summary

Trailside Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Zionsville, Indiana, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 519. The school is part of the Zionsville Community Schools district, which is ranked 4th out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trailside Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in ILEARN test scores, with 63.11% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and an impressive 80% proficient or better in math in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates at 5.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the 17.8% district average. Additionally, Trailside spends $10,600 per student, which is higher than the state average and likely contributes to the school's strong academic performance.

While Trailside Elementary's overall performance is exceptional, the school's demographics suggest potential equity concerns. The low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (2.89%) indicates a relatively high socioeconomic status of the student population. In comparison, Zionsville Pleasant View Elementary stands out with even stronger academic performance, ranking 1st out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
