Summary

Anona Elementary School in Largo, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 430 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Pinellas County School District, and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

Anona stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in math and science. Over the last four years, math proficiency has never dipped below 69%, and in 7 out of 12 grade-level tests, it reached 77% or higher. Fifth-grade science scores are a standout, with 79% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, far exceeding the state average of 60%. This strong performance is matched by a low chronic absenteeism rate of 20%, which is significantly better than the district average of 30.6% and much lower than nearby schools like Walsingham Elementary (33.7%) and Ponce De Leon Elementary (34.5%). Anona also achieves these results with notable efficiency, spending $14,789 per student—$2,735 less than its top-performing peer, Bauder Elementary, yet delivering nearly identical academic outcomes.

While Anona excels overall, there is a slight dip in English Language Arts proficiency as students move from 3rd to 5th grade, with 3rd-grade scores at 82% dropping to 69% in 4th and 5th grades in the 2025-2026 school year. This pattern suggests a strong foundation in early grades that the school may want to monitor in upper elementary. Interestingly, Anona outperforms its closest neighbor, Oakhurst Elementary, in 3rd-grade reading and math, despite Oakhurst having a lower poverty rate and lower chronic absenteeism. This points to particularly effective instruction in Anona’s K-2 classrooms, making it a top choice for families seeking a strong academic start for their children.
