My child has been at Eisenhower for two years now. I have been extremely happy with the general atmosphere of the school. You can tell that the principal is dedicated to making a community of respect and inclusion. The majority of the staff has been there for at least 5 years (a lot far more than that) and you can tell that they are truly in the field because they love what they do. I was initially unsure if I would open enroll into one of the more niche elementary schools or opt for the neighborhood school. Ultimately, I decided that having a school that is filled with the children that live around us outweighed the possible small gains from the other schools. I didn't even tour Eisenhower, just opted for the "neighborhood". I am so pleased that it is such a hidden gem of a school and I feel quite lucky to have wound up with it. :)They have a lot of programming that is geared towards getting the students to interact with other age groups. Eco-Eagles, Jump rope club, Yoga, K-5 buddies, to name a few. They also just started a "nest" program where all of the students have been divided into small groups that mix each grade and place them with a staff member. This group meets once a month and it lets the kids get to know other students throughout the school. My daughter is so happy there. If any staff at Ike is reading this, THANKS!

This has been a terrific school for my two girls. They’ve now done grades 1-4 with my oldest about to start 5th. The teachers are very engaged as is the parent community. The principal, Mr Stroup, is top notch, compassionate, welcoming and clearly cares about his staff, the students and the entire Eisenhower community.

Our child has been in Kindergarten and First grade here and so far we're very happy. My only complaint is having to put up with state mandated assessments and curriculum that is anything but smart or whole child or considerate of learning differences. If I found a charter public that did was Eisenhower does, minus some of the state mandates, I would switch.

I have a kid who has attended for 2 years and loves it. We're planning on having kids there for another 8 years.

I have a 4th and 5th grader and my experience from the beginning has been incredible. The teachers have been devoted to my children and the Eisenhower community is very supportive. The parents all seem to be super involved and welcoming and families and staff have all been great. The music program is amazing as well. They have plenty of before and after activities like jump rope club that our kids have loved and wanted to participate in.

We have known Eisenhower and Eisenhower's wonderful staff for 5 years now. Although Eisenhower is located in the middle of a pretty expensive neighborhood, you can open enroll from ANYWHERE within BVSD and be confident that Eisenhower will have a place for your child. You, and your child will also be welcomed into the community REGARDLESS of your income level, language spoken at home, or place or residence. Why deal with stressful enrollment, aggressive and elitist PTOs, and feeling like you don't belong because you are not "Boulder weathy"? Come to Eisenhower instead. We'd love to have you here.

I love Eisenhower Elementary. We have the best parent, teacher, staff & student community in the district. We embrace academics, the arts and activity. There are so many extra-curricular activities for every student - Chess Club, Eco-Eagles, Jump Rope Club, Yo Yo Club, running groups, choir, orchestra, science fair, geography bee, spelling bee, student council and more! We love it here and I think you will too!

My child participates in the ILC (Special Ed classroom) at Eisenhower and we love it. The school encourages / works on full-inclusion which is a win-win for everyone: children (& hopefully their parents) learn early-on that different is okay, nothing of which to be afraid. The staff, from the wonderful, friendly women in the front office all the way throughout the school clearly take their jobs personally and just as clearly care about the children & in providing a safe place. The SpEd teacher / staff & therapists are truly sine qua non, and the librarian and PE teacher also go out of their way to include *all* children, *all* abilities. The classrooms are open spaces, so each grade-level shares a massive space, but somehow it's not noisy or disruptive. The playgrounds are excellent, with lots of open space for running, kicking a ball, and also excellent play equipment -- lots of great climbing, slides, swings, etc.
