Summary:
The Anderson-Shiro Consolidated Independent School District is a small, unified district in Texas serving 979 students across two schools: Anderson-Shiro Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade) and Anderson-Shiro Junior/Senior High School (6th through 12th grade). Both schools hold 4-star ratings, with the high school ranking in the 86th percentile and the elementary school in the 81st percentile statewide, indicating strong overall performance.
Anderson-Shiro Junior/Senior High School stands out for its perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, a rare achievement. It excels in end-of-course exams, particularly U.S. History (83.93% proficient) and Biology, both significantly above state averages. However, the school faces challenges in Algebra I (41.56% proficient) and 8th-grade Social Studies (17.07% proficient), which are below state levels. Anderson-Shiro Elementary provides a strong foundation, with 5th-grade Reading scores (79.45% proficient) outpacing the state by 21 points. The district's most dramatic success is in 6th-grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates (76.54%) are double the state average, though this drops in later grades.
Key metrics include a low student-teacher ratio (12.6:1 at the high school, 13.4:1 at the elementary school) and below-average per-student spending ($11,780 and $9,773 respectively), suggesting efficient resource use. The district's economic disadvantage rate is around 35-40%. A notable volatility appears in English II Reading scores, which dropped 19 points year-over-year from 76.92% to 57.58%. Overall, the district delivers top-quartile results with a focused educational culture, though targeted interventions in Algebra I and 8th-grade Social Studies could further strengthen student outcomes.
