Summary

Anderson-Shiro Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Anderson, TX, serving 458 students as part of the high-performing Anderson-Shiro Consolidated Independent School District, which ranks in the 86th percentile statewide. This school has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years, demonstrating remarkable consistency in academic achievement, particularly in mathematics, where its 3rd-grade math proficiency (79.49% in 2024-2025) dramatically outpaced the state average (44.88%) and exceeded many more affluent nearby schools like Spring Creek Elementary (64.43%) and Greens Prairie Elementary (66%).

What truly sets Anderson-Shiro apart is its ability to achieve these strong results with a student body where nearly 40% qualify for free or reduced lunch, while neighboring schools in the Navasota Independent School District (Isd)—such as High Point Elementary and John C Webb Elementary—serve higher-poverty populations and rank in the bottom 20% of the state. For example, in 5th-grade science (2024-2025), Anderson-Shiro scored 41.46% proficient compared to just 6.85% at High Point and 4.4% at John C. Webb. The school also excels with diverse student subgroups, consistently earning 4-star ratings for male, female, Hispanic, low-income, and special education students, indicating a school-wide culture of equity and effective instruction.

However, the school faces a critical challenge with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 1st percentile statewide in 2023-2024—a dramatic decline from the 74th percentile just two years prior. This is the school’s most urgent area for improvement. Additionally, while overall performance remains strong, a slight dip in the latest year’s ranking (from the 85th to 81st percentile) appears driven by a specific cohort rather than a systemic issue. With a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 and efficient per-student spending ($9,773), Anderson-Shiro demonstrates effective resource management, making it a standout choice for families seeking a consistently high-performing school in a small-town setting.
