Eisenhower Middle School

Summary:

Eisenhower Middle School is a public middle school in Liberal, Kansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 559 students. The school is part of the Liberal school district, which is ranked 266 out of 266 districts in Kansas 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 several years.

Eisenhower Middle School significantly underperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (12.35%), Mathematics (12.15%), and Science (10.2%) were all well below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kansas middle schools for female, male, and white students, and in the bottom 50% for Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,361, which is higher than the spending per student at the nearby Seymour Rogers Middle School ($11,441) but lower than the state average.

The consistent underperformance of Eisenhower Middle School, as well as the disparities among student subgroups, suggest a need for comprehensive interventions and support to address the root causes of these issues and improve educational opportunities for all students. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes. The challenges facing the Liberal school district as a whole are also evident, as the nearby Seymour Rogers Middle School performs even worse than Eisenhower Middle School across most academic metrics.

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.
