Summary

Anderson Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 451 students in the Compton Unified School District, standing out as a consistently solid performer within its community.

The school earns a 3-star rating and outperforms both district and state averages in English and Math, showing particular strength in supporting English Learners and students from low-income families. A truly remarkable achievement is the dramatic drop in chronic absenteeism, from over 40% to just 3%, which is far better than the state average and a key factor in the school's success. However, families should note that science scores are a significant area for improvement, and the school faces challenges in serving its special education students effectively.

When compared to nearby schools, Anderson Elementary ranks second-highest among similar Compton Unified schools and performs much better than several local charter schools like ISANA Achernar Academy and KIPP Compton Community. It achieves these results with mid-level per-student spending, suggesting efficient use of resources. While performance varies by grade, with 7th grade excelling and 5th grade struggling in math, the school's overall stability and focus on attendance make it a strong option for families in the area.
