Summary

Anderson Academy is an elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 1-4 with a total enrollment of 627 students. It is a public magnet school within the Aldine Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 740 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anderson Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2,500 and 3,900 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, except for the 2021-2022 school year when it briefly reached a 2-star rating. Its test scores on the STAAR exams are consistently lower than the Aldine ISD and Texas state averages, with only 31.85% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 35.99% for Aldine ISD and 52.02% for the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better but African American students, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students struggling.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Aldine ISD, such as Goodman Elementary, Anderson Academy generally performs worse on test scores and other metrics. Despite increased spending per student over the years, Anderson Academy's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student/family engagement, may be more important drivers of student outcomes.

My daughter's teacher has gone above and beyond to differentiate my daughter's instructions. It's amazing to see her reading above grade level in both languages English and Spanish. Close Quote
