Summary

Erskine Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Anderson, Indiana, serving 461 students as part of the Anderson Community School Corp, a district rated 0 stars and ranked 343rd of 374 Indiana districts. Erskine itself ranked 866th out of 1,015 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (15th percentile, 1 star), and its percentile has mostly stayed between 10 and 19 over the past decade. About 68.55% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and 24.9% were chronically absent — better than the district's 30.9% but well above the state's 16.7%. Class sizes are small (11.9 students per teacher, the lowest among nearby schools) and spending is relatively high at $16,457 per student.

Academically, results are low overall but science is a bright spot. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 14.05% in English Language Arts, 19.02% in Math, and 35.94% in Science. That science score is far above the district's 21.36% and nearly matches the top same-district performer, Eastside Elementary School (36.25%). ELA is weaker, trailing most same-district peers. Fifth grade is the clearest concern: only 5.08% of fifth graders were proficient in both ELA and Math, compared with 24.19% in ELA and 27.42% in Math in third grade. Science rose sharply from 17.74% the prior year, while all-grade ELA and Math have declined since 2022–2023.

Attendance has improved markedly, from 43.8% chronically absent in 2021–2022 to 24.9%, and poverty rates have also eased. Still, Erskine's small classes and higher spending have not translated into proficiency rates close to nearby suburban and rural schools such as Maple Ridge Elementary School, Lapel Elementary School, and Pendleton Elementary School, which belong to the higher-performing South Madison Com School Corp and Frankton-Lapel Community Schools and post proficiency rates two to four times higher with single-digit absenteeism. Erskine is not the lowest performer in its own district — Anderson Elementary School ranks lower — suggesting district-wide challenges rather than a single-school outlier.
