The zip code 46013 in Indiana is home to a single high school, Anderson High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Anderson Community School Corporation. This high school faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and significant attendance issues.
Anderson High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Indiana high schools, with only 28.65% of students proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and just 7.84% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates in ILEARN/Biology for the End of Course in 2022-2023 were also significantly lower than the state average (8.33% vs. 29%). This persistent underperformance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
The school's high percentage of students (76.2%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Additionally, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.5%, indicating a significant challenge with student attendance. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism and providing additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the student body could be crucial for improving the school's performance and ensuring student success.
