The school's spending per student of $12,373 is higher than the national average, but its low test scores suggest the resources may not be effectively utilized.
Overall, Midland Trail High appears to be struggling academically compared to other schools in the district and state, with room for improvement in mathematics and science performance. The school's high graduation rate is a positive, but more data would be needed to fully understand its strengths and weaknesses in relation to other schools in the area.
