Summary

Dwight D. Eisenhower Charter School in New Orleans, LA, serves 596 students in grades PK-8 and operates as a single-school district, with 76.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.

The most pressing concern at Eisenhower is its exceptionally high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.0% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is dramatically higher than nearby schools like Belle Chasse Primary School (10.0%) and Paul J. Solis Elementary School (15.3%), and well above the state average of 22.5%. This likely drives the school's below-average academic performance, despite a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1. However, the school shows notable strengths: students taking advanced End-of-Course exams perform exceptionally well, with 100% proficient in English I and 86% in Algebra I, far exceeding state averages. Additionally, the school's English Language Arts proficiency (64%) is closer to the state average (70%) than its math (51%) or social studies (40%) scores, and in 5th and 8th grade ELA, Eisenhower actually exceeds the state average.

A significant red flag is the sharp decline in performance for male students, who dropped from the 43rd percentile to the 22nd percentile in a single year. In contrast, the school has historically served its African American students better than its overall student body, though the most recent year shows a slight dip. The school's overall state ranking has been volatile, currently sitting in the 26th percentile (1-star rating), placing it in the bottom third of Louisiana elementary schools. For parents, the key takeaway is that while Eisenhower has pockets of excellence—particularly in advanced courses and upper-grade ELA—the crisis-level absenteeism and declining outcomes for male students are urgent issues that need to be addressed.
