Summary

The school is part of the Booneville School District, which is ranked 9th out of 130 districts in Mississippi and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Anderson Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 20% of Mississippi elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, 45.6% of 3rd graders and 53% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 49.4% and 52.1%, respectively. In Mathematics, 75.6% of 3rd graders and 82% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 53.3% and 56.6%. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.4% in 2020-2021 to 23.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.
