DDEMS is still proving to be the worst experience we have ever had! We have successfully transferred our child out of this school, but not without one last glimpse of why we had to do so. Undisputable incompetience to the very end!

I attended Eisenhower in my 7th and 8th grade year. This was a great school. I'm not trying to say that these parents are over exaggerating but something close to it. All you have to do in this school is be prepared and learn. The problem is not the school, is the students that attend it. When I was
... Read more in 8th grade, it was the first year we had to wear uniforms and all these girls would be desperate to not wear them. That's on them and on the parents, not on the school. Parents have full responsability to know how their children are performing in school. Teachers are there to teach not to tell your child to stop listening to their iPop and stop talking while they are trying to instruct the class. The teachers were great, the staff has been doing what they can. Read less

I am not a fan of PG County Schools at all! Eisenhower is horrible, period. Some of the Teachers are ok but you even have to constantly call them to see how your child is doing. Luckily I am an involved Parent becuase, they don't volunteer info. until report card time. But what I am mostly disappointed

This is my daughters second year here. Last year I had to go to the school 4 times about the same teacher - This year is much better. No one has time to continue to take off from school but if you make it known - it makes a big difference. Out of all her teachers last year only one was a problem -

DDEMS Has caring teachers and administrators. If you as a parent take an active interes in the school and your child this will be a great place for your children.

I have 3 sons one of which now attends Eisenhower. Thank God he is a child that is gifted and excels in all subjects, because the staff and administration at Eisenhower is terrible. I feel the entire teaching and administrative staff should be revamped in order to get this school back on its feet.
... Read more I am currently trying to relocate in order to keep my other 2 sons from attending this school. The PG County Board really should look into improving Eisenhower. The children walk around the school cursing, fighting, and the male students physically assult the female students right in front of the principles office. I went to pick up my child early one day and they had no clue where he was. The office staff told me to go look for him without an escort. I found him and he walked out without informing anyone!
