Summary

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 480 students in the Garden Grove Unified School District, known for serving a community with significant economic need where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below the averages for both the district and the state, with science being a particular area for improvement. However, the school has shown a strong history of improvement over the past decade and demonstrates notable effectiveness in supporting its English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 15% of schools statewide for that group. While recent scores have dipped, Eisenhower performs comparably to or better than some nearby schools with similar challenges, such as Fremont Elementary in Santa Ana Unified, but lags behind higher-performing neighbors like Ocia A. Peters Elementary.

The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while higher than the district average, has improved significantly and is lower than the state average. Eisenhower serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students among the nearby Garden Grove Unified schools, and its mid-range per-student spending is similar to schools like Riverdale Elementary. Performance varies by grade, with 6th grade doing relatively well in English and 3rd grade in math, suggesting the school has specific strengths to build upon while addressing challenges in other areas.
