St Ansgar Middle School boasts consistently high proficiency rates on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, often exceeding the state averages by a significant margin.

The school's student demographics show a relatively diverse population, with 21.43% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, and a student-teacher ratio of 18.5 to 1 in the same year.
