Summary

Anderson Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 458 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wichita school district, which is ranked 245 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Anderson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Kansas elementary schools over the past decade.

Academically, Anderson Elementary performs significantly below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.17% of Anderson students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.89% in Wichita and 44.47% statewide. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 11.76%, compared to 18.62% in Wichita and 38.73% statewide. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.5% to 33% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby Enders STEM and Leadership Magnet school performs significantly better in both ELA and Mathematics, suggesting that a more specialized and focused educational approach may be beneficial for students in this area. However, other nearby schools in the Wichita district, such as Linwood Elementary, Colvin Elementary, and Harry Street Elementary, also perform poorly, suggesting that the challenges faced by Anderson Elementary may be systemic within the district.
