Summary

Anderson Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Anderson, Indiana, serving 496 students as part of the Anderson Community School Corp, a district and area where nearby schools range from low-performing same-district campuses to much higher-performing out-of-district options.

The school is ranked 999 of 1015 in 2025–26 — 2nd percentile, 0 stars — making it the lowest-ranked of nearby Anderson Community School Corp elementary schools shown. By comparison, Tenth Street Elementary School is at the 10th percentile, Anderson Intermediate School at 12th, Edgewood Elementary School and Erskine Elementary School at 15th, Valley Grove Elementary School at 20th, and Eastside Elementary School at 29th. Out-of-district nearby schools are far higher: Daleville Elementary School at the 44th percentile, Lapel Elementary School at 73rd, and Pendleton Elementary School and East Elementary School at the 80th. In 2025–26, all-grades proficiency was 4.25% in ELA, 10.81% in math, 17.95% in science, and 8.75% in social studies. The 5th-grade results are the most severe: 0% in ELA, 1.25% in math, and 8.75% in social studies. Every reported grade-level subject is below both district and state averages.

Chronic absenteeism was 24.5% in 2024–25, better than the district’s 30.9% but worse than the state’s 16.7%; it has improved sharply from 54.9% in 2021–22. Reported free/reduced lunch was 58.67%, down from 92.06% in 2022–23. Per-student spending was $15,010, with a 13.3 student-teacher ratio. That is more spending and smaller classes than nearby higher-performing out-of-district schools, yet results are much lower. Same-district Eastside Elementary School and Valley Grove Elementary School score higher with similar or lower resources. Overall, this is a severely underperforming school even within a low-performing district, with a long decline, catastrophic 5th-grade results, and large gaps to nearly every comparison group. Improved attendance and lower reported poverty have not yet translated into academic recovery, so targeted intervention—especially in 5th grade—and a deeper review of instruction, curriculum, and school practices are needed.
