Summary

Oregon Trail Middle School serves 632 students in grades 6–8 in Olathe, part of the Olathe district. Its latest test results show substantial progress, but the school still trails most of its nearby peers: it scored above the Kansas state average in all three subjects, yet only three of 10 nearby schools had lower results in each subject.

Math is the school’s strongest subject against the state, while science is its weakest: 51% of students were proficient in math, 51% in English Language Arts (ELA), and 42% in science, compared with state rates of 41%, 46%, and 38%. The school remains below the district in every subject, with the smallest gap in science (4 percentage points) and the largest in ELA (8 points). It also fell short of nearby-school averages in ELA by 6 points, math by 7, and science by 13, making science the clearest local weakness.

Results have risen sharply since 2022–23: proficiency increased by 25 percentage points in ELA, 25 in math, and 20 in science, moving the school from below to above the state rate in all three. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 45th to the 79th percentile, and the school received four stars; six nearby schools have higher percentiles. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 11.3, the second-lowest among the 10 nearby schools, and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 45%, compared with a nearby average of 25%. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for English learner students rose sharply, from the 6th to the 68th percentile in one year, though it remains below the school’s overall 79th percentile; its measure for special education students is also lower, at the 48th percentile.
