Eisenhower Middle School

Summary:

Eisenhower Middle School is a public middle school in Topeka, Kansas, serving 486 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Topeka Public Schools district, which is ranked 245 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Eisenhower Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kansas middle schools over the past decade.

Eisenhower Middle School significantly underperforms compared to the Topeka Public Schools district and the state of Kansas in standardized test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.25% of Eisenhower students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.33% for Topeka Public Schools and 33.55% for the state. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Kansas middle schools for most student subgroups. Additionally, Eisenhower Middle School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.79% to 89.94% over the past three school years.

While Eisenhower Middle School is part of the Topeka Public Schools district, nearby schools in the same district, such as Landon Middle School and Marjorie French Middle School, perform significantly better on academic measures, suggesting that the issues at Eisenhower are not solely a district-wide problem. The school's consistent underperformance and struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively indicate the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's challenges and implement effective strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
