Eisenhower Elementary is a public elementary school in Norton, Kansas, serving 404 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Norton Community Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eisenhower Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (49.51%) and Mathematics (34.91%) were higher than the district's but lower than the state's. The school's performance also varies across grade levels, with 6th-grade students outperforming the state in ELA, but 4th-grade students underperforming in Math. However, Eisenhower Elementary's Science proficiency rate (49.11%) was higher than both the district and state.
