Anderson Mill Elementary

Summary:

Anderson Mill Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 455 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Round Rock Independent School District, which is ranked 216 out of 968 districts in the state.

Anderson Mill Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 43.06%, 40.35%, and 51.35%, respectively, compared to the district's 61.72%, 67%, and 72.21%, and the state's 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively high rankings for African American and White students, but much lower rankings for Hispanic and English Language Learner students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Round Rock ISD, such as Pond Springs Elementary, Canyon Creek Elementary, and Spicewood Elementary, Anderson Mill Elementary's academic performance is generally lower. The nearby Harmony Science Academy - Cedar Park, a public charter school, also outperforms Anderson Mill Elementary on academic measures. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the large population of English Language Learners at Anderson Mill Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance.

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.

Open Quote Both of my children have excelled at Anderson Mill Elementary. We find their teachers and principal engaged and available for the students and their PTA very active. The school offers several after school activities and generally cares about the students. Close Quote

Open Quote Anderson Mill is an abomination to the Round Rock school district. I have to question the intentions/references of anyone who would give this school a decent ranking. Yes, there are some caring teachers and volunteers, but if you have looked around at all, you know that AME does not provide the same level of education as the other schools in this area do. If you are honestly considering whether or not to send your child to Anderson Mill, do not just read these reviews. I strongly encourage you to visit a few other elementary schools in RRISD and then visit AME. Spicewood Springs or England Elementary, for instance. Make an appointment and request to speak to the principal and a few teachers at each school while you are there. The teachers and administrators at other schools are so passionate and forward-thinking. And then to see the bumbling, lack-luster approach of AME. It is heart-breaking. AME is setting these kids up for failure. The students coming out of this school don't stand a chance when they get to middle school and they are too far behind to make up the gap. No child deserves to fail before they have even begun. Please, please, please do your homework. Close Quote

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.
