Eisenhower Center for Innovation

Summary:

Eisenhower Center for Innovation is an elementary school located in Mesa, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 446. The school is part of the Mesa Unified District, which is ranked 179 out of 288 districts in Arizona and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eisenhower Center for Innovation has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 795 out of 904 Arizona elementary schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 34% of 4th-grade students were proficient in ELA, compared to 46% at the state level. Despite the higher spending per student at Eisenhower Center for Innovation, ranging from $8,881 to $10,383 over the past few years, the school's academic performance lags behind the nearby schools, such as Franklin Accelerated Academy - Downtown Campus, Edison Elementary School, and Kerr Center for Agriscience, which generally perform better across various metrics.

Eisenhower Center for Innovation serves a high-need population, with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.27% to 77.8% over the past few years. The school's challenges appear to be multifaceted, and factors such as instructional practices and support for students may be contributing to the poor performance. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 14.2 over the past few years, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
