Summary

Eisenhower Academy is an exceptional elementary school located in Joliet, Illinois, serving 227 students in grades 1-5. Despite being part of the Joliet Public School District 86, which is ranked 755 out of 811 districts in the state, Eisenhower Academy has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Illinois, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eisenhower Academy's academic performance is truly remarkable. In the 2024-2025 school year, 94.4% of its students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 29.9% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, 87.1% of Eisenhower Academy's students were proficient or better, compared to 17% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school's performance is particularly impressive for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students (ranked 3rd in the state) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (ranked 2nd in the state).

While Eisenhower Academy's academic achievements are exceptional, the school does face some challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 6.2% to 28.2% over the past few years. This is an area of concern that the school and district will need to address. Interestingly, Eisenhower Academy significantly outperforms other elementary schools in the Joliet Public School District 86, such as Isaac Singleton Elementary School, Edna Keith Elementary School, and T.E. Culbertson Elementary School, in both academic achievement and student growth. The nearby Union Elementary School, which is part of a different district, also performs well, providing a useful comparison point.
