Summary

Trailridge Middle serves 752 students in grades 7–8 in Shawnee, Kansas, within the Shawnee Mission Pub School district. Its latest state test results are above Kansas averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but below district averages in all three. The most important takeaway is that Trailridge’s results have improved substantially, yet it still trails its district across every tested subject.

ELA is Trailridge’s strongest relative subject: 57% of students met proficiency, 11 points above the state and close to the 58% average for four nearby schools serving grades 7–8. Math reached 51%, 10 points above the state but 6 points below the district and 4 points below those nearby schools’ average. Science was 46%, 8 points above the state but 3 points below the district and 8 points below the nearby-school average. Trailridge ranked third of those five schools in all three subjects. Within Trailridge, 8th-grade math stands out as a concern: proficiency was 46%, compared with 56% in 7th grade; 8th grade was also 10 points below the district.

Results have risen since 2022–2023: proficiency increased 24 points in ELA, 22 in math, and 17 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Trailridge 53rd of 368 Kansas schools, at the 86th percentile with 4 stars; it ranks sixth among 11 nearby schools by percentile. Its student–teacher ratio is 14.1, close to the local average, and 43% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, also near the local average. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for English Language Learner students rose sharply to the 71st percentile in 2025–2026, up 52 points from the prior year. Its ranking for Multi-racial students was at the 59th percentile, down 29 points over two years—both below Trailridge’s overall 86th percentile.
