Eisenhower Elementary

Summary:

Eisenhower Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in McPherson, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 265 students. The school consistently outperforms the McPherson district and the state of Kansas in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels, with particularly strong performance among its 5th-grade students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Eisenhower Elementary's academic performance is impressive, with an ELA proficiency rate of 47.53% and a Mathematics proficiency rate of 37.39% for all grades, compared to the district and state averages. The school's ranking among Kansas elementary schools has fluctuated, ranging from 134th out of 668 schools in 2021-2022 to 268th out of 670 schools in 2020-2021, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied from 4 stars to 3 stars. While Eisenhower outperforms the other nearby McPherson district schools, some nearby schools outside the district, such as Buhler Grade School and Windom Elementary, have higher overall academic performance and rankings.

Eisenhower Elementary's strong performance among its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 63rd out of 541 Kansas elementary schools in this category in 2022-2023, is particularly noteworthy. However, the school still has opportunities for improvement, particularly in 4th-grade Mathematics and 5th-grade Mathematics, where the proficiency rates are lower than the state average. The fluctuations in Eisenhower's ranking and rating suggest the need for further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure sustained excellence.

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.
