Eisenhower Elementary

Summary:

Eisenhower Elementary is a public elementary school located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 374. It is part of the Wauwatosa School District, which is ranked 96 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eisenhower Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a ranking between 466-611 out of 1050-1067 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on the Forward Exam is below the Wauwatosa School District and Wisconsin state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 51.92% of 3rd graders, 50% of 4th graders, and 48.94% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 65.21%, 65.81%, and 69.87%, respectively. Similarly, in mathematics, Eisenhower's proficiency rates were 55.77% for 3rd grade, 52% for 4th grade, and 46.81% for 5th grade, compared to the district averages of 63.97%, 64.32%, and 66.59%. However, the school performs relatively well for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top 40 and top 85 Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

Eisenhower Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby McKinley Elementary and Wauwatosa Montessori School, which are also part of the Wauwatosa School District. McKinley Elementary consistently outperforms Eisenhower on the Forward Exam, with proficiency rates that are 10-30 percentage points higher across various grade levels and subjects. Wauwatosa Montessori School, a public Montessori school, also significantly outperforms Eisenhower Elementary, with proficiency rates that are often 20-30 percentage points higher. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic performance, as Eisenhower Elementary has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
