Summary

Charlotte Anderson Preparatory Academy is a public elementary school in Arlington, TX, serving 373 students in grades PK-4 as part of the highly regarded Mansfield Independent School District (Isd). The school currently holds a 4-star state ranking (75th percentile) and serves a diverse community, with 63% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. A standout feature is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1, which is significantly better than nearby schools like Moore Elementary (15.3:1) and Wood Elementary (15.1:1), suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for your child.

Charlotte Anderson’s most impressive strength is its exceptional support for Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 96th percentile (5 stars)—the highest possible rating and far above any other school in the immediate area. The school also shows strong performance for African American students, consistently ranking in the top 20% statewide. Additionally, the school has demonstrated remarkable improvement for Special Education students (jumping from the 46th to 84th percentile) and English Language Learners (from the 38th to 68th percentile) over the past year, indicating recent effective interventions are making a real difference. While the school is on a strong upward trajectory after a dip in 2023-2024, a potential area to watch is 4th Grade Math, where proficiency (54.55%) fell slightly below the district average (58.2%) in the most recent school year.

When comparing Charlotte Anderson to nearby schools, the advantages of being in Mansfield ISD are clear. For example, in 3rd Grade Math, Charlotte Anderson scored 54.69% proficient, while nearby Bebensee Elementary (Arlington ISD) scored just 34.48%. The most dramatic contrast is with Glenn Harmon Elementary, another Mansfield ISD school just one mile away, which experienced a catastrophic drop to the 5th percentile before recovering—highlighting Charlotte Anderson’s relative stability. The highest-performing nearby school is Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy (89th percentile), but this is a selective-enrollment magnet school with a different mission, making Charlotte Anderson an excellent choice for a strong neighborhood school with proven results.
