Trailwood Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-6

6^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 657 Kansas Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of Kansas elementary schools

Summary

Trailwood Elementary serves 429 students in PK–6 in Overland Park and is part of Shawnee Mission Public Schools. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 83% in English Language Arts (ELA), 79% in math and 76% in science—all well above Kansas and district results. The clearest takeaway is that Trailwood pairs strong results in every tested subject with second-place rankings among 11 nearby schools in ELA and math.

Trailwood’s biggest comparative strengths are ELA and math: it ranked second among nearby schools in both, behind Corinth Elementary. Its results were 14 percentage points above the nearby-school average in each subject. Trailwood also exceeded state results by 37 points in ELA, 38 in math and 38 in science, and district results by 23, 22 and 27 points, respectively. Science is strong overall, but its fourth-place nearby ranking makes it a relative weakness compared with ELA and math. Sixth grade stands out: Trailwood had the highest nearby-school results in both sixth-grade ELA and math. Its fifth-grade ELA result ranked fourth among nearby schools, a useful area for families to look at more closely.

From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency rose 10 percentage points and math rose 9, while science ended 1 point lower after considerable year-to-year fluctuation. SchoolDigger gives Trailwood 5 stars and ranks it sixth of 657 Kansas schools, at the 99th percentile—its best rank in the years provided. Its student-teacher ratio was 15.0, almost exactly the nearby average; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 15%, below the nearby average of 28%. Chronic absenteeism was also low at 5.1%, compared with 18% for both the district and state, and was below the next-lowest nearby rate of 5.2%. These figures provide context alongside the school’s strong academic results, but do not explain them.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 13, 2012

In my opinion Trailwood is a product of environment, not educational excellence. We have two daughters there and it is rather evident that a naturally good student will flourish and a kid who needs even the slightest bit of help will be left to rot.

The reading specialist is great and the teachers in mid career seem to be pretty good. The teachers who are very young tend to leave as soon as they have a child and those near retirement have a busted give a darn. Our oldest had only had one classroom teacher who I would say was a great teacher. The rest were all mediocre at best. Our youngest has had 2 strong teachers but she had a debacle with 3 teachers in the first 10 weeks of school because the original teacher had a baby a week into school and didn't return. The Principal was the only person who didn't know that was going to happen so instead of a plan and having a full time replacement ready, they had a sub for 9 weeks, then a new teacher again. The sub and the new teacher were very good, but this was totally unacceptable to put 2nd graders through.

I would not suggest Trailwood to a friend. Close Quote

This is a warm, supportive school that appears to honor its children and welcome them to their school day. It just feels good to enter their halls!!! Close Quote
