Summary:
Zip code 77830 in Anderson, Texas, is served by two public schools within the Anderson-Shiro Consolidated Independent School District, a high-performing district ranked in the 86th percentile statewide, offering education from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade to a total of 979 students.
The standout school in this area is Anderson-Shiro Junior/Senior High School, which boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. This school excels in mathematics, with 6th graders achieving nearly double the state average in proficiency, and also outperforms the state in Biology and U.S. History. However, it shows a notable weakness in 8th-grade Social Studies, where only 17% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 32%, and in Algebra I, where proficiency lags behind the state. The Anderson-Shiro Elementary is a consistent 4-star performer, with its strongest subject being 5th-grade Reading, where 79% of students are proficient versus the state's 58%. Both schools benefit from low student-to-teacher ratios (12.6:1 at the high school and 13.4:1 at the elementary school), and the district spends $9,773 per student at the elementary level and $11,780 at the high school level.
Key takeaways for parents include the district's strong foundation in early literacy and math through 8th grade, but a clear need for improvement in 8th-grade Social Studies and the transition to high school Algebra I. The high school's English II scores also show significant year-over-year volatility, dropping from 77% proficiency to 58% in just one year, which may warrant attention. Overall, the district provides a high-quality education with small class sizes and strong science and history programs, but parents should be aware of specific academic gaps that could affect their child's preparation for college or career.
