Academically, the school shows a mixed performance. In English Language Arts (ELA), proficiency has remained stable, but 3rd graders consistently perform below both district and state averages. However, 5th-grade ELA proficiency has improved, surpassing the district average in the latest year. Math performance is a strength, with the school generally exceeding district averages for all grades, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. Science scores are also strong, with 4th-grade proficiency exceeding both district and state averages. Social Studies performance is slightly above district averages.
A key area of concern for Andrews Elementary School is its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is considered high. The school also serves a significant population of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 42.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school excels in certain areas like 4th and 5th-grade math and 4th-grade science, the low 3rd-grade ELA scores and the recent decline in 3rd-grade math proficiency warrant further attention and investigation.
