Summary

Anderson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 462 students in grades K-5 in Anderson, Indiana. The school is part of the Anderson Community School Corporation, which is ranked 320 out of 380 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anderson Elementary School has faced significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 37.2% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools in the district. The school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is also significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.32% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 18.68% for the district and 40.3% statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.32% to 92.06%, much higher than the nearby Valley Grove Elementary, Eastside Elementary, and Tenth Street Elementary schools.

Despite the higher spending per student at Anderson Elementary School, ranging from $12,943 to $16,457 per year, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The nearby schools in the same district generally perform better academically and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as improving attendance and providing targeted academic and social-emotional support, will be crucial for Anderson Elementary School to improve and better serve its students.
