What this school's NCES data tells you

Eisenhower Middle/High reports 1,095 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 63.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 16.3:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 8% above the Wisconsin state mean of 15.1:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state.

Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 8.7% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 77% below the Wisconsin average and 83% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 365 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 8.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

On the finance side, the surrounding New Berlin School District spends $13,480 per pupil district-wide, below the Wisconsin average of $14,919 and below the national average of $16,593.
