My old daughter was in this school several years ago and she liked it. Now my younger one is in this school, she likes it too. Teachers are nice and responsive. It offers many activities and programs.

I agree with the review from 10/23/12. Our son has special needs and over the summer, prior to his entering 5th grade, we forwarded all his information and recommendations from the counselor at JFK to the IKE office. Well, 2 months in we get an email from his teacher (since of course they don't actually MEET with parents anymore) that our son is having certain problems. Well, we find out that the teachers never got the information about our son's needs. The counselor gave a half-assed excuse why it wasn't done. Meanwhile our son is struggling, they refuse to help him, and midway through the year he's removed from his math class and thrown on another. At JFK he was gettings all A's, and this year at IKE he's struggling for C's. Let me tell you, it's not HIM, it's the SCHOOL. Our daughter, one grade older, had a similar experience, but since she's not special needs, it hasn't been to this degree. The school's response -- "They're only here for 2 years, so there's not much we can do." Really? We've talked with other parents and our experience isn't unique. Some are even considering moving out of the district . There is something seriously wrong with this school.

There is a serious lack of communication between district staff specfically when it comes to special needs students. Teachers do not communicate well with students. One teacher in particular in the 5th grade answered a request for help with "Yeah and i need a million dollars" the same teacher refused to meet with the parent to discuss the issue. The Principal does not return phone calls. The Pschologists and guidance counselors between Eisenhower and Van Holten fail to share information regarding students with special needs. As a result homeschooling becomes the solution.

The School is taking a serious look into improving academics and the much needed focus on basics. Very happy to see a text book for grammer this year. Teachers are great and hope they keep the focus on academics and improve the quality of education. My daughter loves the school and all her teachers.

Eisenhower school is now an intermediate school not elementary. The school offers lot of challenging programs for the children like advanced Match and Reading, lots of great teachers, very good music program. The principal is excellent and is very involved in both curricular and extra curricular programs. The PTO is very organized with participation from significant number of parents.
