Summary:

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Palm Beach, Florida, serving 432 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary has a diverse student population, with 35.88% White, 28.47% African American, and 26.16% Hispanic students. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.4%, which is much higher than nearby schools like Lighthouse Elementary (14.9%) and Marsh Pointe Elementary (14.0%). The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Math, but its 6th-grade Math proficiency rate of 94% is remarkably high, suggesting the school may be doing something right in its upper-grade Math instruction.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary also serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 56.02% to 70.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools. Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $17,782 in 2019-2020 to $25,176 in 2022-2023, which is higher than many of the surrounding schools. These factors suggest that the school faces complex challenges that may require a multifaceted approach to support student success and address the needs of its diverse community.

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.
