Summary:
The Anna Jonesboro CHSD 81 list has one public high school in the Anna-Jonesboro area: Anna-Jonesboro High School, serving grades 9–12 with 476 students. There is no school-to-school comparison in this one-school list. The clearest concern is that eight of the nine reported 2025–2026 test results are below state results; averaged across all nine, the school is at 35% proficient versus 47% statewide, a 13-point gap.
