Summary

Anderson Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 1055 Berrum Lane in Reno, Nevada, serving 319 students as part of the Washoe County School District. It is a mid-sized elementary for the area, and free/reduced lunch participation has been reported at 100% in recent years — effectively universal economic disadvantage. In 2025–2026 it ranked 294th of 376 Nevada elementary schools (22nd percentile, 1 star), its best showing since 2020–2021 after a 0-star year in 2024–2025.

Reading is Anderson's clear relative strength: 38.0% of students were proficient in reading versus 22.6% in math, a 15.4-point gap that is wider than the district's or the state's. The school's biggest recent win is attendance — chronic absenteeism fell from 49.3% in 2022–2023 to 24.9% in 2025–2026, now below both district (27.5%) and state (25.5%) averages. Reading jumped 13.2 points in one year, the largest gain among nearby schools, while most neighbors lost ground. Anderson also spends $15,906 per student — second-highest nearby — with one of the smallest classes (14.1 students per teacher).

Comparisons with neighbors are striking. Hunter Lake Elementary enrolls the same 319 students, 1.85 miles away, with the same 100% free/reduced lunch rate — yet posts 71.9% math and 75.6% reading proficiency at the 97th state percentile, with less money per student ($12,228) and larger classes (23.4 ratio). Bailey Charter School, the closest school at 0.78 miles, is the only nearby school performing below Anderson. Anderson's reading results beat six of ten nearby schools; its math results beat only three, making math the school's central challenge. Note that science scores are suppressed for Anderson, and the most recent subgroup data dates to 2017–2018.
