Eisenhower Elementary

Summary:

Eisenhower Elementary is a public elementary school located in Junction City, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 368. It is part of the Geary County Schools district, which is ranked 105 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eisenhower Elementary consistently outperforms the Geary County Schools district and the state of Kansas in terms of the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. In 2023-2024, the school had 42.06% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 34.15% for the district and 33.55% for the state. In Mathematics, Eisenhower Elementary had 33.1% of students proficient or better, compared to 34.36% for the district and 31.6% for the state. The school's performance in Science is particularly noteworthy, with 51.15% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (35.21%) and state (32.28%) averages. Eisenhower Elementary also has a strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities.

However, Eisenhower Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 88th out of 678 Kansas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 327th out of 653 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this time period. Additionally, the school's performance for its military-connected student population, which is significant due to its proximity to Fort Riley, has been relatively low, ranking 11th out of 14 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024. These factors suggest that the school may be facing some challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I love this school! Great teachers, great support, and a great building! I have 3 children with 2 currently attending and our oldest attended from K-5th grade. The teachers challenge our children while caring for them. The after school support & PTA are second to none. This in turn means that we have lots of involvment in school sponsored programs.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
