How Eisenhower Middle School compares with Florida and U.S. medians
What stands out at Eisenhower Middle School
Eisenhower Middle School is a higher-need, large combined-grade school in Gibsonton, Florida, enrolling 1,174 students.
Class loads run heavy: 22.2:1 is larger than about 86% of Florida schools and 25% above the 17.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 56.7% lands close to the Florida typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 1,174 puts it in the larger third of Florida schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 3,996 scored Florida schools.
Among 659 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Florida schools statewide, it ranks #533, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by African American (40%) and Hispanic or Latino (37%) (diversity index 68/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 391 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 62.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 16.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
