Summary
Eisenhower Elementary is a PK–5 school in Hopkins, Minnesota, a suburban community west of Minneapolis, serving 504 students as part of Hopkins Public School District. The district itself is mid-ranked statewide (240th of 458, 48th percentile, 2 stars), but Eisenhower has been a 1-star school throughout its shown rank history. In 2025–2026, it ranked 648th of 869 Minnesota schools (25th percentile) — an improvement from the 17th percentile in 2023–2024 and the 11th percentile in 2021–2022, yet still in the bottom quartile.
Proficiency sits below both district and state averages in every core subject. In 2025–2026, 29.5% of students met standards in math (district 35.5%, state 44.9%), 40.0% in reading (district 46.2%, state 48.6%), and 21.5% in science (district 24.6%, state 25.5%). Reading is the most even subject across grades, hovering near 40% in grades 3–5. Science rose from 10.53% in 2024–2025, but 5th-grade math is an acute concern: only 15.5% were proficient, compared with 24.6% districtwide and 41.9% statewide.
Compared with nearby schools, Eisenhower sits near the bottom. Within its own district it trails Glen Lake Elementary (61st percentile) by a wide margin and is far below Xinxing Academy (98th percentile), which shares its address at 1001 Highway 7. It ranks above only Alice Smith Elementary (20th) and L.H. Tanglen Elementary (23rd), both also 1-star. Schools with similar poverty rates outside the district — Aquila Elementary (46.18% free/reduced lunch) and Peter Hobart Elementary (43.91%) — scored around 52% proficient in math and about 48% in reading, well above Eisenhower's 29.5% and 40.0%, suggesting poverty alone does not explain the results. Eisenhower's own free/reduced-lunch rate fell from 64.72% to 47.42%, and its student-teacher ratio of 12.5 is lower than most comparison schools. Subgroup effectiveness varies widely: White students rank in the 67th percentile and Hispanic students 52nd, while African American students rank 17th and low-income students 7th, with recent gains for Hispanic, English Learner, and Special Education students.
