Summary

Anderson Elementary is a public elementary school in Reno, Nevada, serving 309 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Anderson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the district and state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency, with only 21.2% of students proficient in math and 24.8% proficient in reading in the 2024-2025 school year. Anderson Elementary also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.6% to 32.2% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Washoe County district, such as Huffaker Elementary, Roger Corbett Elementary, and Mariposa Language and Learning Academy, generally outperform Anderson Elementary in academic metrics. However, some of these nearby schools also have high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism, suggesting that these factors may be systemic issues within the district. Despite increased funding and resources, Anderson Elementary's performance has not yet seen significant improvements, indicating a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's challenges.
