Program Success
Immersion students score exceedingly
well on all of the state and district-mandated standardized tests, with
composite scores consistently at the 80th percentile or higher on the
Oklahoma Core Curriculum Tests
Students continue to demonstrate both high academic achievement and leadership qualities at the middle school level. A super-majority (>80%) of former EIS students achieve honor roll status for academic performance at the middle school level. For the past two years at Thoreau Demonstration Academy, former EIS students have won 1st place in the all-city Martin Luther King Essay Contest, as well as 1st and 2nd place in the all-school spelling bee.
Measures of Students Success School Success
Measures of Student Success
ž Eisenhower
is the top-performing school in the State of Ok, winning the Academic
Achievement Awards 2 years in a row.
ž More
than 80% of the 5th grade students will earn Honor Roll recognition
at the middle school level each year.
ž EIS
French Immersion students participate in the National Concours (French National
Exam), and each year a number of EIS students (and former EIS students at the
middle school and high school levels) rank in the top 10 national
rankings. This is a test taken by
thousands of immersion students across the country.
ž 5th
grade students travel as ambassadors in our school’s academic exchange programs
with Mexico and France. These students sit
in class in a French or Mexican school and fully participate in the
curriculum. The Mexican exchange is for
8 weeks and the French exchange is for 3 weeks. Students receive grades for their class work,
and the written comments from their instructors there express amazement at the
high functioning level of their accent-free French and Spanish.
ž More
Eisenhower students place in the District Speech Arts Festival than from
any of the other 55 elementary schools in the Tulsa Public School District.
ž
Students develop a broader, international mind
set at EIS. For example, when learning
to sing The Grand ‘Ole Flag, an EIS 5th grader remarked in
class, “How do we know this is about the American flag? It just says red, white and blue flag and
many countries have red, white and blue flags.”
Then he proceeded to name of few of those countries for the music
teacher. The staff thought this was a
huge measure of success in critical thinking and international attitudes!
