Anamosa Community School District

The Anamosa Community School District consists of three schools: Strawberry Hill Elementary, Anamosa High School, and Anamosa Middle School. The district is ranked 192 out of 313 districts in Iowa and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Strawberry Hill Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with consistently high proficiency rates on ISASP assessments, particularly in 4th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Anamosa Middle School also demonstrates impressive performance, with several grade levels exceeding state averages on ISASP assessments in ELA, Mathematics, and Science, and a low student-teacher ratio.

In contrast, Anamosa High School has more uneven results, with some grades exceeding state averages on ISASP assessments and others falling behind. The high school, however, maintains a respectable 88.3% four-year graduation rate. Interestingly, Strawberry Hill Elementary, despite having the highest free and reduced-price lunch rate in the district, is still able to outperform the state averages on ISASP assessments, suggesting the school is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students.
