Summary

Anderson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 347 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Tulsa school district, which is ranked 387 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Anderson Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Oklahoma, with a statewide ranking between 575-942 out of over 600 schools in recent years and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely low academic performance, with only 8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 11% in mathematics, compared to 16% and 13% in the Tulsa district, and 26% in both subjects statewide. Anderson Elementary also has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.4% to 40.8% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage (97.69%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the nearby Emerson Elementary, Owen Elementary, and Celia Clinton Elementary schools also perform poorly, with proficiency rates well below the state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by Anderson Elementary may be systemic issues within the Tulsa school district. Despite the high percentage of students from low-income families, Anderson Elementary's per-student spending was higher than these nearby schools, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.
