Summary:
The 46011 zip code area in Indiana is home to two elementary schools - Anderson Elementary School and Edgewood Elementary School. While both serve high-need student populations, Edgewood Elementary stands out as the stronger-performing school in the area.
Edgewood Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to Anderson Elementary, as well as the district and state averages. It also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a better student-teacher ratio. Despite Anderson Elementary spending more per student, its academic performance lags behind Edgewood, suggesting that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
The racial makeup of the two schools is quite different, with Anderson Elementary having a majority Hispanic and African American student population, while Edgewood is majority White. This highlights the need for the Anderson Community School Corp to closely examine resource allocation, teaching quality, and other factors that may be contributing to the disparities in student performance between the two schools within the same district.
