Anthony Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25-35% of New Mexico elementary schools over the past 10 years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 89th out of 345 New Mexico elementary schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 44.23% of students proficient or better in ELA and 53.21% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 41.75% and 28.57% and the state's 44.19% and 26.81%, respectively.

Anthony Elementary also performs well across various student subgroups, ranking highly for female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests the school is effectively supporting and meeting the needs of its diverse student population, including those from low-income families, which is a notable achievement given the school's 100% free and reduced-lunch rate. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.4 to 12.8 over the past three school years, may contribute to its ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.
