Summary

Anderson Elementary in Conroe, TX, serves 686 students from Pre-K through 4th grade within the highly-rated Conroe Independent School District (Isd), but recent data shows a dramatic and concerning decline in its overall performance. While the school historically earned strong ratings, its preliminary 2025-2026 ranking has plummeted to the 37th percentile (2 stars), a steep drop from the 75th percentile the year prior. This decline is especially notable because nearby schools serving similar student populations, like Runyan Elementary and Reaves Elementary, have maintained much more stable rankings, suggesting Anderson's challenges are unique and not simply tied to its high poverty rate, where over 81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

In stark contrast to its overall struggles, Anderson Elementary boasts an exceptional Gifted and Talented (GT) program that ranks in the 97th percentile (5 stars), an elite performance unmatched by any nearby school. However, the school also reveals a significant gender achievement gap: female students rank in the 52nd percentile, while male students rank in the 22nd percentile, a 30-point difference that is far more pronounced than at comparable schools. Additionally, despite having the highest per-student spending ($12,264) among nearby schools—more than Giesinger Elementary ($8,924) or Houston Elementary ($11,029)—this investment has not translated into top-tier overall results, especially in the most recent year.

The most critical red flag is the broad-based collapse in core subject scores for the 2025-2026 school year, with 4th Grade Reading proficiency falling from 59.38% to 36.36% and 4th Grade Math dropping from 60% to 31.96%. This systemic decline, which also affected the school's historically strong support for low-income students, signals a serious crisis that warrants immediate investigation by the district. For parents, Anderson Elementary is a school at a crossroads: it offers a world-class GT program and has a track record of success with its high-needs population, but the recent data suggests urgent, targeted improvements are needed to reverse the downward trend and replicate that success for all students.

This school is too focused on English as a second language programs. If your child already speaks English they will fall behind at this school. This should really be a specialty/focused school and Conroe ISD should give parents the option of sending their children elsewhere. Close Quote

The staff are pleasant and there are good teachers. The school has many activities for students/families, but there is no PTO. The boundaries are so expansive (covers rural homesteads and crowded trailer parks) that it's difficult for many families to be involved with the school activities, also a lot of two working parent families. Some parents/grandparents seem to use the school as a Federal Day Care and don't care about the academics. Class size is about 17/1. They use computers and videos every day according to my child, sometimes multiple times a day, which I don't like because children could do that stuff at home. I would not expect my child to be able to compete in a global economy coming out of this part of CISD, so I tutor them at home and they're doing very well. The school is safe and the staff is caring, but with little parent involvement at home or in the school, test scores stay mediocre. Close Quote
