5^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 368 Kansas Middle Schools

Better than 99% of Kansas middle schools

Summary

Prairie Trail Middle School serves 709 students in grades 6–8 in Olathe, Kansas, and has the largest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked it 5th of 368 Kansas schools, at the 99th percentile with five stars. The most important finding is that Prairie Trail had the highest proficiency rates among the nearby schools in ELA, math and science, and exceeded both state and Olathe district rates in all three.

Math is Prairie Trail’s clearest advantage over nearby schools and the state: 75% of students were proficient, compared with nearby schools’ average of 54% and state rate of 41%. Its ELA rate was 72%, versus 56% nearby, 59% in the district and 46% statewide. Science proficiency was 68%, compared with a 52% nearby average, 46% in the district and 38% statewide. The school’s lead over nearby averages was 20 points in math and 16 points each in ELA and science; its smallest gaps were in ELA against the district and state. Nearby schools also performed strongly: California Trail Middle School was next-highest in ELA at 68%, Mission Trail Middle School in math at 68%, and Monticello Trails Middle School in science at 64%.

Proficiency has risen in all three subjects since 2022–23: 20 percentage points in ELA, 27 in math and 32 in science. Over the same period, Prairie Trail’s lead over the state grew from 19 to 26 points in ELA, 16 to 34 in math, and 4 to 29 in science. Its SchoolDigger percentile has stayed near the top, moving from 95 to 99 across the years shown. Context differs from what some parents might expect: Prairie Trail’s student-teacher ratio was 14.0, the second-highest nearby, while its free/reduced-lunch rate was 7%, the lowest nearby. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Asian students was notably lower than its overall standing—56th percentile versus 99th. Science results are for eighth grade, and subgroup percentiles are statewide rankings, not proficiency rates.
