Summary

Anderson High School is a public high school in Anderson, IN, serving grades 9–12 with 1,768 students as part of Anderson Community School Corp, a district ranked 343rd of 374 in Indiana. The school ranked 345th of 415 statewide in 2025–2026 (17th percentile, 1 star), continuing a decade-long pattern of bottom-quintile performance. Nearby schools are higher: Hamilton Southeastern High School at the 97th percentile, Pendleton Heights High School at 90th, Yorktown High School at 85th, Daleville Junior-Senior High School at 79th, and Lapel Senior High School at 75th. Anderson's results are closer to alternative or online options such as Excel Center - Anderson (18th percentile in 2024–2025) and Indiana eSchool Academy 6-12 (15th in 2025–2026), even though it is a large comprehensive high school.

Key numbers for parents: graduation rate is 81.6% (2024–2025), compared with 89.7% statewide; chronic absenteeism is 38.0%, versus 16.7% statewide and far lower rates at nearby Yorktown High School (7.8%), Daleville Junior-Senior High School (8.3%), Hamilton Southeastern High School (10.2%), Lapel Senior High School (11.9%), and Pendleton Heights High School (12.8%). Test proficiency is low: SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing 28.88% (state 51.9%), SAT Mathematics 10.96% (state 25.6%), and Biology ILEARN End-of-Course 14.69% (district 22.68%). Per-student spending is $14,539 (2023–2024), more than nearby traditional public schools, but outcomes remain much weaker. The student–teacher ratio of 14.3 is moderate and not an obvious disadvantage.

Some improvements are worth noting: SAT Math rose from 5.64% in 2024–2025 to 10.96% in 2025–2026, Biology increased from 6.67% to 14.69% over two years, and English Language Learner students improved to the 34th percentile, the highest subgroup. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 60.0% in 2021–2022, though it remains severe. About 82% of students graduate, but only about 29% meet SAT ERW proficiency, 11% meet SAT Math proficiency, and 14.69% meet Biology proficiency, suggesting a graduation-to-readiness gap. The contrast with Pendleton Heights High School, just 5.28 miles away, is striking: it has a 99.1% graduation rate, 12.8% chronic absenteeism, and 84.34% Biology proficiency while spending $9,479 per student. Families should weigh the attendance and proficiency concerns alongside these recent gains.
