Summary

Anna Maria Elementary School in Holmes Beach, FL, is a small, high-performing public school serving 190 students in grades PK through 5, and it stands out as a beacon of academic excellence within the Manatee school district. This school consistently earns top-tier ratings, never dropping below a 4-star rating in the past decade, and its state ranking has been in the top 10-15% of all Florida elementary schools, peaking at 166th out of 2,256 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

What truly sets Anna Maria Elementary apart from nearby schools is its exceptional academic performance and unique learning environment. For example, in 5th Grade ELA, the school achieved a 92% proficiency rate, far exceeding the district (62%) and state (61%) averages, and outperforming even other high-performing peers like Ida M. Stewart Elementary School (77%). The school also boasts a very low student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 and spends significantly more per student ($21,486) than nearby schools, which average around $13,500. This combination of small class sizes and high investment creates an environment highly conducive to academic success, especially when compared to larger schools like H.S. Moody Elementary School, which has a higher student-teacher ratio and lower test scores.

Despite its stellar performance, Anna Maria Elementary has a notable area for improvement: chronic absenteeism. While its rate of 20.1% is lower than the district (29.4%) and state (31.4%) averages, it is significantly higher than other top-performing schools like Palmetto Charter School (5.0%). This suggests that while the school is excellent, improving attendance could potentially push its performance even higher. Overall, Anna Maria Elementary offers a small, intimate, and well-funded learning environment that consistently delivers top-tier results, making it a standout choice for families in the area.
