Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary

Summary:

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary is a public elementary school located in Abilene, Kansas, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 216 students. The school is part of the Abilene school district, which is ranked 152 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 200 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 451 out of 653 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests is mixed compared to the Abilene district and the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics fluctuating over the past few years. While the school has seen some improvements in academic performance, particularly among certain student subgroups, its declining statewide ranking and the persistent achievement gaps among different student populations suggest the need for continued focus and targeted interventions to support student success.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Meadowlark Ridge Elementary in Salina, Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic proficiency rates. However, some nearby schools consistently outperform Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary across multiple subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 51.98% to 59.72% over the past few years, suggests that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's overall performance and the need for additional resources and support.

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.
