Summary:
The Anderson Community School Corp district in Indiana is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between these schools, with the highest-performing Eastside Elementary School outpacing the lowest-performing Anderson Elementary School by over 30 percentage points in 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency.
Eastside Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with the best overall test scores and the highest proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA and Math. Edgewood Elementary is the second-highest performer, particularly excelling in Math with the district's top proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. However, the district as a whole struggles, with even the top schools performing well below state averages.
The data also reveals high levels of economic disadvantage across the district, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 43.54% at Edgewood Elementary to 75.32% at Anderson Elementary. This poverty-achievement correlation suggests that addressing systemic challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and inconsistent performance across grade levels, will be crucial to improving outcomes for all students in the Anderson Community School Corp district.
