Summary:
ZIP code 46013 in Anderson, Indiana contains two public high schools serving grades 9–12 — Anderson High School and Excel Center - Anderson — with combined enrollment of 2,089 students, and both currently trail state averages on the key measures in this data.
Anderson High, part of Anderson Community School Corp, is the much larger school with 1,768 students, about 84.6% of the ZIP's high-school enrollment. It graduated 81.6% of students in 2024–25 (state: 89.7%) and reported 38.0% chronic absenteeism (state: 16.7%). It ranked 345th of 415 schools in 2025–26 — 17th percentile, 1 star — after similar 1-star results in 2024–25 and 2023–24. Test scores are low: Biology ILEARN proficiency was 14.69% in 2025–26, and SAT Math improved from 5.64% to 10.96% while SAT ERW sat at 28.88%, all well below state figures. About 62% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $14,539 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.3.
Excel Center - Anderson, which operates as its own district, Excel Center - Anderson, enrolls 321 students and posts the most extreme figures here: 99.0% chronic absenteeism in 2024–25 and an 18.8% graduation rate. Per-student spending was $3,411 — roughly one-quarter of Anderson High's — with a student-teacher ratio of 32.1, more than double. Its ranking improved from 397th of 398 in 2022–23 to 352nd of 429 in 2024–25, slightly ahead of Anderson High's 2024–25 rank despite far weaker graduation and absenteeism, which suggests rankings weigh different factors. Note that no 2025–26 school-level test scores or 2025–26 ranking are provided for Excel Center, so those should be treated as unknown rather than as failure.
