Summary

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-3 in Piscataway, New Jersey, with 504 students. While part of the Piscataway Township School District, which is ranked 302 out of 609 districts in the state, Eisenhower Elementary has faced several challenges in recent years.

Academically, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests for 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 40.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.8% for the district and 44.9% for the state. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.1% to 16.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state target of 5%. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students performing the poorest, while African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Economically Disadvantaged students perform relatively well.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Piscataway district, Eisenhower Elementary spends less per student, at $6,340 per student, while nearby schools range from $5,683 to $6,636 per student. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined from the top 30% in 2016-2017 to the bottom 40% in recent years, with its SchoolDigger rating dropping from 3 stars to 1 star. These trends suggest the school may benefit from learning best practices from its higher-performing peers within the district and addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population.
