Best Public Schools in Anderson, IN

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with some standout institutions like Eastside Elementary School and Highland Middle School outperforming their peers on ILEARN assessments. Meanwhile, the public charter Anderson Preparatory Academy stands out for its unique student population and relatively high graduation rate, despite lower overall academic performance.

Across the district, there is a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes, with schools serving higher percentages of students from low-income families tending to have the lowest proficiency rates. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant challenge, particularly at the alternative Excel Center - Anderson. These disparities suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the uneven educational outcomes within the Anderson Community School Corp and the Anderson Preparatory Academy districts.

Overall, the data highlights both the strengths and the challenges facing the schools in Anderson, Indiana. While some institutions are excelling, the district as a whole must work to close the significant gaps in academic performance and student outcomes to ensure that all children in the community have access to a high-quality education.
