Summary:
The 46012 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, with no high schools or alternative schools. Among these schools, Eastside Elementary and Highland Middle stand out as the top performers, with higher academic achievement and better overall school ratings compared to the other schools in the area.
Eastside Elementary has the highest overall academic performance, with 31.68% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 34.54% proficient or better in Math across all grades. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade students perform particularly well, with 29.73% and 31.11% proficient or better in ELA, respectively, and 40.54% and 35.16% proficient or better in Math. Highland Middle School also stands out, with the highest overall academic performance among the middle schools, and its 8th-grade students performing exceptionally well in both ELA and Math.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges across the schools, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28% to 36.8%, and a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, as the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch also have the lowest academic performance. Additionally, there are wide funding disparities, with per-student spending ranging from $5,277 at Anderson Intermediate to $13,459 at Eastside Elementary, which may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the schools. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the challenges and support student success across all schools in the Anderson Community School Corp district.
