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.

I'm a senior at Eisenhower high school and I liked how helpful the teachers and staff are at EHS, the food is good, and school spirit is excellent, however, there are some drawbacks, EHS doesn't have that many extra curricular and clubs activities such as swimming, archery, and MUN. The Sports administration just cares about two sports- Basketball and football, they don't fund the other sports equally. The safety in this school is average because of frequent fights in the campus.

I was not an outstanding student at this school, but I found myself comfortable during my junior and senior years academically and socially.
