GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Dwight D Eisenhower high school has been good most people are friendly and the teachers are nice and teach well. Eisenhower's extra curricular activities excel more than anything, we have an amazing band, speech team, choir, mathelites team, and more. Although our sports haven't been the best in the past they've been on an incline recently.

Dwight D. Eisenhower is honestly not too bad of a school. We have an amazing music department, as well as our art and science departments. Majority of our teachers are pretty involved in helping us with our school work. Also, it's not too big of a school and easy to memorize your way around. However, if you ever need help with any directions you could ask anyone and they try to help you.

It was a great place to go to school. I was a part of the music program and it helped me grow as a person. I was prepared for college for sure, multiple teachers helped me apply, read over my college applications, reviewed my essays, and wrote letters of recommendation, I just had to ask. The teachers want what is best for the students so they always help up to figure that out with them.

My grandson who is a Junior at DD Eisenhower loves his school. Anytime a young man can say that that about his school, has my approval. He is doing above average work too. He is academic scholarship eligible.

I graduated from DDE in 2001. I went to college on scholarships As a teacher myself, I can appreciate how hard working and devoted the teachers of Eisenhower were. It is encouraging to know that many of them are still at DDE. The school offers a lot. The programs are good and the attention paid to r...

This school does not care to keep good teachers. Only cares about the budget and looking good on paper. The Special Ed. dept. is the worst due to the administration. She needs to go.
