Summary:
ZIP code 55302 is home to exactly one middle school: Annandale Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 with 466 students as part of the Annandale Public School District. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there are no local peer schools to compare it against, so its performance is best measured against district and state benchmarks.
On those benchmarks, the school looks strong in Math and Reading. In 2025-26, 51.1% of students were proficient in Math and 58.3% in Reading, compared with statewide figures of 44.9% and 48.6%. The school beats the state in every reported Math and Reading grade, and its 8th-grade results stand out the most: 63.1% proficient in Math versus 42.3% statewide, and 67.7% in Reading versus 50.0% statewide. Science is the softer spot. The all-grades Science score is 18.8%, below the district's 29.7% and the state's 25.5%, though the school's 8th-grade Science score of 18.8% is above the 8th-grade state figure of 16.7%. Even so, Science proficiency is low in absolute terms at under 20%.
The school has earned a 4-star rating for three straight years, ranking 85th of 546 schools in 2025-26, placing it in the 84th percentile statewide. That said, its rank has slipped from 56th in 2023-24 and 60th in 2024-25, and test scores declined in all three subjects year over year: Math fell 5.49 points, Reading 2.51, and Science 6.80. For context, 28.97% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is 18.8. Parents should know that grade-level school scores match district scores exactly, meaning that comparison is not an independent peer check.
