About Indian Trail Elem School
Indian Trail Elementary School serves 309 students across grades one through four in Frankfort, Illinois. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — and ranks #65 out of 3,813 public schools in Illinois, placing it in the top 2% statewide. Among Frankfort's nine public schools, Indian Trail holds the top position.
Academic scores sit at 9.2 out of 10. Growth scores reach 9.5, the stronger of the two dimensions and a particularly telling figure. Growth measures how much students advance relative to peers who started at the same level, so a 9.5 signals that students here are making gains that consistently exceed what comparable schools produce — not just performing well in absolute terms, but accelerating faster than the norm.
The student-teacher ratio stands at 11.4 to 1.
