What this school's NCES data tells you
Eisenhower High School reports 2,258 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 97.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 23.2:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 30% above the Washington state mean of 17.8:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 46% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 71.3% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 58% above the Washington average and 38% above the national baseline. The school offers 14 Advanced Placement courses, a stronger academic pipeline indicator than enrollment alone. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 376 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 29.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Yakima School District spends $18,416 per pupil district-wide, below the Washington average of $23,175 and below the national average of $19,490.
