Summary

Eastside Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Anderson, IN, serving 581 students as part of Anderson Community School Corp — the largest of the nearby same-district elementary schools, operating in a district ranked 343 of 374 in Indiana (8th percentile, 0 stars).

Eastside's 2025–26 school rank is 725 of 1,015 (29th percentile, 1 star), down from 656 of 1,005 (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–25. It is the highest-ranked of the nearby Anderson schools — Valley Grove Elementary School (20th percentile), Erskine Elementary School and Edgewood Elementary School (15th), Anderson Intermediate School (12th), Tenth Street Elementary School (10th), and Anderson Elementary School (2nd). But every nearby school from other districts ranks higher: East Elementary School (80th percentile, 4 stars), Alexandria Monroe Elementary School (67th, 3 stars), Daleville Elementary School (44th, 2 stars), and Frankton Elementary School (39th, 2 stars). In 2025–26, All Grades proficiency was ELA 25.82%, Math 33.01%, Science 36.25%, and Social Studies 5th grade 33.90% — above Anderson district averages but below state averages. Math is the relative strength (4th grade Math 41.25), while ELA is weaker (4th grade ELA 21.25).

Chronic absenteeism was 28.3% in 2024–25 — down sharply from 55.7% in 2021–22, but nearly double Indiana's 16.7% and higher than most Anderson peers. About 64.2% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch; per-student spending was $13,796 in 2023–24 and the student–teacher ratio was 15.2 in 2024–25. One caution for comparisons: Eastside is PK–5 while some comparison schools are PK–6, so their "All Grades" figures include grade 6, making grade-level 3–5 comparisons the fairest.
