Lt. General was the highest rank a general could recieve, if memory serves, Congress had to pass a bill so he could recieve it.
So I would definately consider that a "5 star" general, above Eisenhower, equal with Washington in terms of "who was the highest".

Oh, OK. Thanks! I wondered if something like that were the case, but I couldn't remember my military history..
