Summary

Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School serves 730 students in grades 6–8 in Manhattan, Kansas, as part of the Manhattan-Ogden district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates are above Kansas’s in all three tested subjects, but the most important finding for families comparing local schools is that Eisenhower trails the nearby-school average in every subject, especially science.

Eisenhower’s strongest comparison is with the state: its proficiency is 2 percentage points higher in ELA, 4 higher in math, and 8 higher in science. Compared with its district, however, it is 6 points lower in ELA, 3 lower in math, and 1 lower in science. The local gaps are widest in science: Eisenhower scores 46%, versus a 59% average at five nearby schools, a 13-point difference. Its ELA result of 47% is 7 points below the nearby average of 54%, while math at 45% is 5 points below the 51% average. Among the six schools, Eisenhower ranks fifth in ELA, second-lowest in math, and tied for lowest in science.

Results have improved substantially since 2022–23: ELA rose from 32% to 47%, math from 24% to 45%, and science from 30% to 46%. The progress has not been steady—science fell 4 points in the latest year while ELA rose 3 and math rose 4. SchoolDigger ranks Eisenhower at the 69th percentile, 114 of 368 schools, with 3 stars; the nearby schools are at the 70th–88th percentiles and each has 4 stars. Its student-teacher ratio is 12.7, the third-lowest among the six schools. Context measures include a 50% free- or reduced-price lunch eligibility rate, the highest nearby, and chronic absenteeism of 23%, also the highest nearby, though down from 27% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves multi-racial students rose from the 41st to the 68th percentile between 2023–24 and 2025–26; its standing for African American students is at the 49th percentile, compared with 69th overall.
