905^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,015 Indiana Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Anderson Elementary School is a public PK–4 school at 2325 Cherry Dr in Madison, Indiana, serving 489 students as part of Madison Consolidated Schools, a district ranked 190th of 374 in Indiana. While the district sits at roughly the middle of the state, Anderson's own standing is far weaker: in 2025–2026 it ranked 905th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (11th percentile, 1 star), and it has slipped steadily from the 30th percentile in 2021–2022 to 20th, 19th, 9th, and now 11th.

Academically, Anderson posts the lowest 2025–2026 ILEARN proficiency of any nearby school in reading, math, and science — 19.55% ELA, 18.89% math, and 19.51% science, compared with district rates of 35.09%, 32.52%, and 36.18%. Third-grade math is especially stark at 14.29% proficient against a 51.9% state benchmark. Same-district peers fare much better: Deputy Elementary School reaches 63.83% in math and Rykers' Ridge Elementary School 52.63%, while Lydia Middleton Elementary School outperforms Anderson in every subject. Anderson also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate in the comparison set at 69.73%, yet Johnson Elementary School and Southwestern Elementary School serve similarly high-poverty populations with notably stronger results.

Chronic absenteeism stands at 24.1%, above the state rate of 16.7% and above all three same-district peers, though it has improved from 29.0% in 2020–2021. Spending and staffing do not appear to be the main bottleneck: Anderson spends $13,325 per student — more than several higher-performing nearby schools — and its student–teacher ratio of 15.7 is mid-range and improved from 20 in 2022–2023, even as achievement has not risen. Taken together, low proficiency, a declining rank, high absenteeism, and high poverty make Anderson a clear priority for support, particularly in early-grade math and reading.
