Anderson Elementary

Summary:

Anderson Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 412 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 683 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anderson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's student proficiency rates on the STAAR exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in STAAR Science where only 9.09% of 5th-grade students achieved proficiency in 2023-2024, compared to 16.43% for the district and 26.29% for the state. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.

Nearby schools in the Arlington ISD, such as Remynse Elementary, Adams Elementary, and Berry Elementary, generally outperform Anderson Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. However, these nearby schools still struggle to meet state averages and have their own challenges, with most maintaining 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Anderson Elementary's high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

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.
