Student-teacher ratio in context
How Eisenhower Middle/High compares with Wisconsin and U.S. medians
What stands out at Eisenhower Middle/High
Large campus carrying a heavier staffing load
Eisenhower Middle/High is larger than most Wisconsin schools and also reports more students per teacher than the state norm. Those facts reinforce one another: this is not merely a small specialist campus whose ratio is distorted by a tiny denominator. The operational constraint is scale paired with tighter staffing. Families comparing programs should inspect whether counselors, gifted access, and other support indicators compensate for that teacher-staffing load.
Lower need and stronger resource signals align
Eisenhower Middle/High reports lower free-meal eligibility than most Wisconsin schools and an above-typical Resource Investment Index. The two measures move together, a pattern consistent with the resource advantages that often accompany a lower-need intake. That association should not be mistaken for a causal verdict about the school; it is a transparent description of how this campus sits on two independent federal-data dimensions.
Attendance is a relative strength
8.5% of Eisenhower Middle/High students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 civil-rights collection. On its face, that is a comparatively low historical rate, though this page does not treat it as a current national benchmark or guarantee current-year performance. Here, attendance is a more distinctive signal than the presence or absence of any single specialist role.
Eisenhower Middle/High is a lower-poverty, large combined-grade school in New Berlin, Wisconsin, enrolling 1,095 students.
Class loads run heavy: 17.4:1 is larger than about 88% of Wisconsin schools and 21% above the 14.4:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in Wisconsin, bigger than 96% of state schools at 1,095 students.
