Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle

Summary:

Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle is a public middle school in Laurel, Maryland, serving grades 6-8 and part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and low-income students.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland middle schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 5.1% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 10.8% in the district and 24.1% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking 199 out of 207 Maryland middle schools for Hispanic students in English Language Arts and 235 out of 273 for low-income students.

When comparing Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle to other nearby middle schools, such as Greenbelt Middle and Hyattsville Middle, both in the same district, it consistently underperforms. Despite the high poverty rate, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, suggesting that funding and resources may not be the primary driver of the school's low academic performance. The school's diverse student population and high poverty rate could indicate a need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of the student body.

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.
