Summary

Eisenhower Elementary serves 239 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in McPherson, an area with nearby elementary schools enrolling 169 to 318 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency rates were 58% in ELA, 50% in math and 48% in science. Those results were above the McPherson district by 14, 12 and 6 points, respectively, and above Kansas by 12, 9 and 10 points. The central takeaway: Eisenhower performed above its district and the state in all three subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Eisenhower is around the middle in ELA and math, but science is a relative weakness: its 48% science result was 6 points below the nearby-school average of 54%, ranking fifth among eight schools reporting scores. Its ELA score was just above the nearby average of 57%, while its math score was 2 points above the average of 48%. Grade-level results vary considerably: fourth-grade math was 68%, the second-highest result among nearby schools reporting that grade, while third-grade math was 33%, lower than all but one nearby result. Fifth-grade ELA was 52%, only 1 point above the state and 7 below the district.

Over time, ELA improved from 50% in 2022–23 to 58% in 2025–26; math was essentially flat at 50% in both years, and science fell from 66% to 48%, despite a rebound from 43% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger ranks Eisenhower 226th of 657 schools, at the 66th percentile with three stars; its percentile has fallen 14 points from its 2021–22 high. The student-teacher ratio is 11.1, below the nearby average of 12.1, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is 35%, among the lowest locally. Chronic absenteeism was 9%, below the district’s 14% and the state’s 18%, but up from 7% the prior year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for its “Low Socio Economic Status Students” group—a measure of its standing in serving that group—rose from the 35th percentile in 2018–19 to the 88th in 2022–23, then declined to the 65th in 2024–25.
