Anderson Elementary

Summary:

Anderson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Reno, Nevada, serving around 350 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Anderson Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. In 2022-2023, only 18.5% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 33.6% for the district and 31.3% for the state. The school's reading proficiency rates are also low, with only 17.9% of students proficient or better, compared to 41.2% for the district and 41% for the state. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past several years, with its statewide ranking among Nevada elementary schools declining from 178 out of 332 in 2013-2014 to 350 out of 384 in 2022-2023. The school's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups.

Nearby schools, such as Huffaker Elementary, Roger Corbett Elementary, and Mariposa Language and Learning Academy, generally outperform Anderson Elementary in academic proficiency, with higher percentages of students meeting or exceeding standards in both mathematics and reading. Despite the school's consistently low performance, there are some signs of improvement efforts, such as increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. However, the school's high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as evidenced by the 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, likely presents significant challenges in terms of providing the necessary resources and support for student learning.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
