Summary

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary is a public elementary school located in Abilene, Kansas, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 233 students. The school is part of the Abilene school district, which is ranked 112 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 200th out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to 452nd out of 656 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). The school generally performs below the Abilene district and the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. However, the school excels in supporting its Hispanic student population, ranking in the top 20 Kansas elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. Chronic absenteeism has been a concern, rising from 10.5% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.51% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be a factor in the school's academic challenges. While the school's per-student spending is slightly lower than the Abilene district average, the student-teacher ratio of 21.1 in 2023-2024 is higher, which may impact the school's ability to provide individualized attention to students. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring the school has adequate resources to support its diverse student population could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance.
