Summary

Anderson Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Spring Independent School District (Isd), serving 635 students in a high-poverty area of Spring, TX, where the majority of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 9th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 33rd percentile in 2025-2026—a 24-point gain that makes it the most improved school among its local peers, such as Smith Elementary and Chet Burchett Elementary, which have remained stagnant or declined. This recovery is promising but fragile, as the school has experienced volatility in the past, including a drop from the 63rd percentile in 2015-2016.

Anderson Elementary now outperforms the Spring ISD district average in Reading across all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th), a key strength that sets it apart from nearby schools like Gloria Marshall Elementary and Mildred Jenkins Elementary, which often fall below the district average. However, Mathematics remains a significant challenge, with proficiency rates below the state average and, in some grades, even below the Spring ISD average. The school is particularly effective at serving Hispanic students and those from low-income backgrounds, with these subgroups ranking in the 53rd and 56th percentiles, respectively—far above the school's overall rank.

A notable dynamic in the neighborhood is the presence of Sam Houston State University Charter School, a top-tier school ranked in the 91st percentile statewide, just two miles away. This charter school achieves proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher than Anderson in both Reading and Math, highlighting a stark contrast in educational opportunity within the same community. Anderson's per-student spending ($11,886) is higher than most Spring ISD peers and significantly higher than the charter school ($8,060), suggesting that funding alone is not the issue—targeted improvements in math instruction and support for English Language Learners, whose performance has been inconsistent, are critical for sustaining the school's upward trajectory.

My son attended Anderson for Kindergarten through 5th grade and my daughter is still a current student. The district has had its challenges with administrative decisions and policies over the last few years but Anderson has remained a great school. The teachers do a great job keeping the parents involved and keeping the students engaged in learning. I am very satisfied with the education my children receive(d) while at Anderson. Close Quote

Improper treatment of children who want to learn. Prejudiced type school who is just looking to keep great kids below their level of learning. Bullying is real bad and if your child asks for help the principle and vice principle act like their oblivious to what is going on in their own school lunchroom. Close Quote

My oldest child attended from K-5 grade. Best elementry school in Spring. My youngest child with special needs loves the teachers. You can tell that her teachers love what they do. We are planning on moving to a new house soon and worry we will not find another school that treat the children so well. Close Quote
