Within the district, a few schools stand out. Eastside Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the district, with 32.99% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 35.54% in Math, and 31.3% in Science. Edgewood Elementary School has the second-highest proficiency rates, outperforming the district and state averages in most grade-level assessments. Anderson High School, the lone high school in the district, has a 88.4% 4-year graduation rate and performs better than the district average on SAT/EBRW and SAT/Math assessments, though still below state averages.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges within the district. All schools have a 17.8% chronic absenteeism rate, well above the state average. The district's schools also have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 43.54% to 79.04%. Additionally, there are wide disparities in per-student spending, from $6,235 at Anderson Intermediate School to $16,457 at Erskine Elementary. These factors likely contribute to the uneven academic performance across the district's schools.
