Summary

Summit Trail Middle School is a public middle school in Olathe, Kansas, serving 562 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the highly-ranked Olathe School District and has consistently performed in the top 20% of Kansas middle schools over the past five years, currently ranking 63 out of 363 schools.

Summit Trail Middle School excels academically, outperforming the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong for African American students and Gifted and Talented students, ranking among the top 10 middle schools in the state for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students and students with disabilities is relatively lower compared to other subgroups, an area that the school should address to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

While Summit Trail Middle School serves a less economically disadvantaged student population compared to some nearby schools, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, indicating a potential investment in resources and programs. The school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, however, is a concerning trend that the school and district should investigate and address, as it can have a direct impact on student learning and achievement.
