Summary

Eisenhower Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in McPherson, Kansas, serving 263 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the McPherson school district and the state of Kansas in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, with 61.75% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 49.01% in mathematics.

Eisenhower Elementary has a strong statewide ranking, consistently placing in the top half of Kansas elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 191 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is also noteworthy.

While Eisenhower Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Washington Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary schools, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 7.1% to 19.7% in recent school years. This is an area of concern that the school may need to address to improve student attendance and engagement.
