Summary
Eisenhower Elementary is a K–5 school in Louisville’s Jefferson County, serving 592 students. SchoolDigger ranks it 490th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 28th percentile and with 1 star for 2025–2026; the district ranks 135th of 158, at the 15th percentile and with 1 star. Eisenhower ranks higher than all ten nearby schools, but its results vary notably by subject. The clearest takeaway is that fourth-grade math and science are standouts, while fifth-grade writing is a pronounced weakness.
Compared with nearby schools, Eisenhower is ahead in most reported subjects, but it does not consistently match state results. Fourth-grade math proficiency was 43%, versus a 20% nearby average, 31% in the district and 43% statewide; fourth-grade science was 44%, compared with 18% nearby, 26% in the district and 40% statewide. By contrast, fifth-grade writing was 12%, below the nearby average of 15%, the district’s 25% and the state’s 35%. Across grades 3–5, math averaged 33% at Eisenhower versus 21% nearby, 31% in the district and 43% statewide; reading averaged 44%, compared with 28%, 38% and 50%, respectively. So Eisenhower generally outperforms local peers, while several subjects still trail state levels.
Longer-term results are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science rose from 42% to 44% and remained above the state, while fifth-grade writing fell from 18% to 12% and social studies from 39% to 28%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile has dropped from 58 in 2015–2016 to 28, despite Eisenhower ranking highest among nearby schools; its latest ranking is also well below its earlier standing. SchoolDigger’s student-group ranking indicates stronger statewide standing in how well the school serves African American students: the group’s percentile is 49, compared with 28 overall, down from 65 in 2023–2024. Other context: the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 61%, below the nearby-school average of 75%; the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 17.6, higher than all nearby schools except Layne Elementary. Chronic absenteeism was 25% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 32%.
