Summary

Erskine Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Anderson, Indiana, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 474 students. The school is part of the Anderson Community School Corporation, which is ranked 320 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Erskine Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly lower test scores compared to state and district averages, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.89% of Erskine students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 18.68% for the Anderson Community School Corporation and 40.3% statewide for 3rd grade. Additionally, Erskine's chronic absenteeism rates range from 17.8% to 37.2%, which is much higher than the rates of nearby schools like Tenth Street Elementary (17.8%) and Eastside Elementary (17.8%).

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Erskine Elementary, ranging from $12,722 to $16,457 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains low compared to its peers. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving instructional practices could be important focus areas for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
