Summary

Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle in Laurel, MD, is a large middle school serving 1,047 students in grades 6-8 within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where 96.37% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school's most significant challenge is in mathematics, with only 5.8% of all students proficient in math—far below the district average of 13.7% and the state average of 27.1%. This is the lowest math proficiency among nearby schools, including Greenbelt Middle (23%) and Hammond Middle (42.7%). However, there is a notable exception: 47.2% of students taking Algebra I are proficient, which is over four times the district average and more than double the state average. This suggests the school effectively accelerates a select group of students into advanced math, even as the general curriculum struggles. English Language Arts is a relative strength, with 31.4% proficiency, closer to the district average of 38.9%.

Chronic absenteeism has been volatile but shows recent improvement, dropping from 35.9% in 2023-2024 to 21.5% in 2024-2025—below the district average of 30.2% for the first time. The school spends $18,935 per student, which is more than nearby higher-performing schools like Lime Kiln Middle ($17,144) in the Howard County Public Schools district, where math proficiency is 58.5% and only 8.59% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This contrast highlights the strong link between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes. While the school has historically struggled, the recent drop in absenteeism offers a glimmer of hope for future improvement.
