Summary
D D Eisenhower Middle serves 634 students in grades 6–8 in Kansas City, Kansas. In 2025–26, 15% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 6% in math and 4% in science; Kansas City district results were 23%, 16% and 15%, and Kansas results were 46%, 41% and 38%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 366th of 368 Kansas schools, in the 1st percentile, with zero stars. The most important finding for families is that achievement is very low across all three subjects, especially compared with state results.
ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to its comparisons, but it still trails the state by 31 percentage points; math has the largest state gap, at 35 points, while science has the largest gap to the district, at 11 points. Compared with five other nearby middle schools in the Kansas City district, the school’s results are lower by 3 points in ELA, 4 in math and 1 in science. It ranks second-lowest among nearby schools serving grades 6–8 in ELA and math, and third-lowest in science. Grade-level results point to a particular weakness in seventh grade: its 14% ELA and 5% math results were below every nearby school reporting seventh-grade scores. Sixth-grade ELA, by contrast, was a relative bright spot at 19%, above the nearby Kansas City district average of 17%. Nearby schools outside the district show a much wider range: Piper Middle reported 46% ELA and 45% math, while Hocker Grove Middle reported 49% and 45%.
Scores have risen since 2022–23—by 3 percentage points in ELA, 4 in math and 3 in science—but state scores rose more, so the gaps widened overall. The most recent year was mixed: ELA improved by 3 points, while math and science each fell by about 1 point. SchoolDigger’s overall standing was still in the 1st percentile in 2025–26, compared with the 2nd percentile in 2022–23. The student–teacher ratio was 17.1 in 2024–25, the second-highest among nearby schools with data; the nearby average was about 15. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 73%, close to the nearby average of 75%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that the school ranked in the 23rd percentile for how well it serves Special Education Students, compared with the 1st percentile overall; its English Language Learner Students ranking was in the 16th percentile, down from the 40th the year before.
