Summary

Eisenhower Middle School is a public middle school located in Rockford, Illinois, serving 985 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Rockford School District 205, which is ranked 745 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Eisenhower Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent school years.

Eisenhower Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.9% of Eisenhower students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.1% statewide and 32.8% for the Rockford School District. In Mathematics, only 10.2% of Eisenhower students were proficient or better, compared to 38.5% statewide and 20.1% for the district. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 46.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Eisenhower Middle School's performance is significantly lower than most of the nearby middle schools, both within the Rockford School District and in neighboring districts. For example, Thurgood Marshall School, which is also part of the Rockford School District, consistently ranks among the top 1% of Illinois middle schools and has significantly higher academic proficiency rates than Eisenhower. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Eisenhower Middle School likely contribute to the school's poor academic performance, and the large performance gaps between student subgroups suggest that the school may not be providing the necessary support and resources to ensure all students can succeed.
