Anderson Elementary

Summary:

Anderson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bristol, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 308. The school is part of the Bristol District, which is ranked 17 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Anderson Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (81.17%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 84.53% to 94.96% White students, it also has a higher percentage of students of two or more races (9.74%). Academically, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the Bristol district and Tennessee state averages, with an all-grades mathematics proficiency rate of 46.2% and an ELA proficiency rate of 37% in 2023-2024. However, the school's science proficiency rates are mixed, with the all-grades rate of 50.4% in 2023-2024 being higher than the Tennessee average of 44%, but lower than the Bristol average of 56.1%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Avoca Elementary and Holston View Elementary, both in the Bristol district, Anderson Elementary generally performs below average in academic proficiency. However, the school's performance on the low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroup is relatively strong, suggesting that it may be able to effectively support and serve its lower-income student population. Additionally, the school's declining enrollment and changing racial makeup are noteworthy trends to monitor.

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.
