Summary

Anthony Elementary is a small PK-5 school in Anthony, TX, serving 312 students as the sole elementary school in the Anthony Independent School District (Isd), where over 80% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school has historically ranked low—hitting the 8th percentile in 2023-2024—it has shown a promising upward trend, climbing to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026, its best ranking in four years. This improvement suggests recent efforts may be gaining traction, though the school still faces significant challenges compared to nearby higher-performing schools.

Academically, Anthony Elementary lags behind peers in the more affluent El Paso Independent School District (Isd) and Canutillo Independent School District (Isd). For instance, in 4th grade reading, only 43.24% of Anthony students were proficient, while nearby Tippin Elementary (78.29%) and Marguerite J Lundy Elementary (77.17%) scored nearly double. Similarly, 3rd grade math proficiency at Anthony was 30.95%, compared to over 60% at Kohlberg Elementary and Canutillo Elementary. However, 5th grade reading stands out as a relative strength, with 50% of students proficient—the school's highest score across all subjects. The school also shows potential in special education, jumping from the 4th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 54th percentile in 2023-2024, though it dropped to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026.

Despite higher per-student spending ($12,939) than top performers like Tippin ($11,337) and Lundy ($10,385), Anthony Elementary's intense concentration of poverty—comparable only to Deanna Davenport Elementary (85.81% disadvantaged)—remains a key challenge. The school's recent gains, particularly among male and Hispanic students, offer cautious optimism, but its economically disadvantaged students (23rd percentile) still struggle. This suggests that while momentum is building, sustained support is needed to ensure all students benefit from the upward trend.
