Eisenhower Elementary

Summary:

Eisenhower Elementary is a public elementary school in Norton, Kansas, serving 402 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Norton Community Schools district, which is ranked 194 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Eisenhower Elementary's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 110 in 2014-2015 to a low of 459 in the current 2023-2024 school year, with an overall 1-2 star rating. Compared to the nearby Almena Elementary, which is part of the Northern Valley district, Eisenhower Elementary generally underperforms in both ELA and Mathematics across the grade levels.

The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, is mixed compared to the state averages. While the school's ranking for special education students has improved, the ranking for white students has consistently been in the bottom quartile, indicating significantly below-average performance. Additionally, Eisenhower Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to Almena Elementary, which may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions, equitable resource distribution, and a focus on improving the learning environment may be crucial for the school's long-term success.

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.
