Summary:
The Anderson-Shiro Consolidated Independent School District is home to a single high school, Anderson-Shiro Junior/Senior High School, which serves 521 students in grades 6 through 12. This rural school stands out for its exceptional performance in mathematics and science, while also showing a notable weakness in social studies, creating a mixed but overall strong academic profile for families to consider.
The school achieves a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, which are standout metrics for any school. In the 2025-2026 school year, 6th and 7th-grade math proficiency rates were 76.54% and 61.54%, respectively—roughly double the state averages. The school also outperforms Texas averages in Biology (78.48% vs. 70.51%) and U.S. History (83.93% vs. 70.17%) End-of-Course exams. However, 8th-grade Social Studies is a significant concern, with only 17.07% of students proficient compared to the state's 31.69%. Additionally, English II Reading proficiency dropped sharply from 76.92% to 57.58% year-over-year, now below the state average, indicating some volatility in core subjects.
Despite serving a population where 35.12% of students receive free or reduced lunch, the school maintains strong overall results, suggesting effective support systems. The school's state ranking has declined from the 78th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 65th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, even as many test scores remain above state averages—a sign that other Texas schools are improving faster. With a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 and spending of $11,780 per student, families can expect a focused learning environment, though the school should prioritize addressing its social studies performance and stabilizing English outcomes.
