Summary

Indian Trail Elementary is a public school in Spokane, Washington, serving 303 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Spokane School District. The school is in a local comparison group with schools from Spokane and nearby Mead communities. Indian Trail ranks at the 68th percentile statewide, or 366th among 1,138 Washington elementary schools, and holds a three-star rating. This is an improvement from the 52nd percentile in 2024–2025 and the 57th percentile in 2023–2024. Its 13.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio is favorable compared with most nearby schools.

Indian Trail’s latest academic results are a clear strength. In 2025–2026, 58.73% of students were proficient in English language arts, 47.62% in math, and 75.56% in science—above both district and state rates in every subject. The school ranked second among nearby Spokane schools in ELA and first in science. Its fifth-grade results were especially strong, with 71.11% proficient in ELA and 75.56% in science. Compared with Balboa Elementary, Westview Elementary, and Woodridge Elementary, Indian Trail was less competitive in math but stronger or comparable in other subjects. Its science performance also exceeded Prairie View Elementary and Skyline Elementary.

The main area to watch is math, particularly third grade, where 42.86% of students were proficient compared with 53.2% statewide. Math has remained relatively steady in recent years, while ELA improved and science rebounded sharply from 46.15% to 75.56%. Indian Trail’s low-socioeconomic-status student effectiveness ranking reached the 85th percentile statewide, suggesting encouraging support for that group. Overall, the school appears stronger than its longer-term middle-of-the-state reputation suggests, with notable momentum in ELA and science. Families may want to ask how the school plans to strengthen early-grade math and whether the latest science gains can be sustained. Nearby schools such as Linwood Elementary, Madison Elementary, Ridgeview Elementary, Finch Elementary, and Browne Elementary generally posted lower results in at least some subjects.

First-hand Documentation of criminal harassment, hate incident, mob mentality, intimidation, gangland, vandalism, graffiti, littering, burn markings, and a dangerous antisocial environment that is not safe for anybody. Keep your kids and those you care about safe and away from this "school". This is what happens to you if you are minding your own business and you walk down a street associated with this "school".

Open Quote One teacher's note on our child's report card was "Coolest kid I have ever met". Really? Our student is still struggling with writing and math. Perhaps we could focus on teaching as opposed to whether or not you like my kid. Teachers at Indian Trail need to TEACH. Teach for the love of pete. You have more parent support than you know what to do with. You have my kid for 6 hours a day and you can't find a little bit of time to teach? Teachers are the weakest link at this school. Try somewhere else if you can. Close Quote
