Anderson Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 376th out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 184th out of 576 in 2024-2025. Its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are also above the state average.

The district as a whole appears to be performing well, with all schools in the 50035 zip code area earning 3 or more stars from SchoolDigger. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools may be an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. The range in free/reduced lunch rates indicates a diverse student population, which could present both challenges and opportunities for the district in terms of meeting the needs of all learners.
