Midland Trail Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 49 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade math proficiency rates were higher than the Kanawha County and West Virginia averages in 2024-2025, and its 4th and 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rates were also higher than the district and state averages in the same year. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd and 5th-grade math proficiency rates were significantly higher than the district and state, at 79% and 63.3%, respectively, and its 3rd and 5th-grade ELA proficiency rates were also notably higher than the district and state.

The school's consistent high performance, outperforming the district and state in key academic metrics, suggests that Midland Trail Elementary is providing a quality education to its students. The low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1 and the adequate per-student spending of $13,148 may be contributing factors to the school's success. However, the lack of data on the school's free/reduced lunch rate means that potential equity concerns cannot be fully assessed.
