Anderson Elementary School

Summary:

Anderson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 457 students in grades PK-4 in Madison, Indiana. It is part of the Madison Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 136 out of 381 districts in the state.

While Anderson Elementary has a predominantly White student population (87.75%), it faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 27.8% to 29.0% over the past 3 years, which is much higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Deputy Elementary (22.6%) and Rykers' Ridge Elementary (23.7%). Additionally, Anderson Elementary lags behind the district and state averages in academic performance, with only 22.79% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and 27.94% proficient or better in math, compared to 45.57% and 41.41% for the Madison Consolidated Schools district, respectively.

The school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.95% to 70.02% over the past 3 years, suggests that it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status. This may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism. Furthermore, Anderson Elementary spends between $8,233 and $9,775 per student, which is lower than the spending at nearby schools like Deputy Elementary ($10,940) and Rykers' Ridge Elementary ($10,359), indicating that the school may have fewer resources and funding available to support student learning and address the needs of its student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
