Eisenhower Middle School is a public middle school in Lawton, Oklahoma, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,063 students. The school has a history of low performance, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma middle schools for the past several years.
Eisenhower Middle School's academic challenges are evident in its consistently low test scores, with only 28% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 29% in Lawton and 39% statewide. In mathematics, the proficiency rates for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades were 25%, 20%, and 24%, respectively, significantly lower than the state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.12% to 83.54% over the past three school years, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.4 to 17.3.
However, Eisenhower Middle School's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is relatively stronger compared to other middle schools in the state. Additionally, nearby schools like Walters Middle School and Elgin Middle School, which are in different districts, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond the immediate district may be contributing to Eisenhower's challenges. The school's spending per student, at $9,594, is also lower than some of the nearby schools, which may indicate a need for additional resources and funding to support its improvement efforts.
