Recent progress is mixed: paired-school averages were roughly unchanged in ELA and math, while science rose about 4 points; the group’s gap with the state widened by about 1 point in ELA and math and narrowed by about 1 in science. Anderson New Technology High improved by 9 points in ELA, 22 in math and 36 in science, while Happy Valley Elementary had stronger grade-level results than its all-grades scores suggest: seventh-grade ELA was 57%, above the state’s 51%. SchoolDigger rankings also moved up for Happy Valley Elementary (30th to 50th percentile) and Anderson New Technology High (60th to 72nd), but down for North Valley High (9th to 1st). For context, reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–2025 ranged from 53% to 85%; student–teacher ratios ranged from 6.5 to 24.1. Schools serve different grade spans, and some results are unavailable or suppressed, so comparisons are not equally complete for every school.
