Summary:
ZIP code 45302 in Anna, Ohio, contains just one middle school: Anna Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls about 250 students. It is part of the Anna Local district. Because there is only one middle school in this area, the most meaningful yardstick for families is the state of Ohio as a whole rather than a neighboring school.
By that measure, the school stands out. In 2025-26 it beat the state proficiency average in all eight tested areas — science, math and English language arts in grades 6, 7 and 8, plus the Algebra I end-of-course exam — by margins ranging from 14 points (8th grade ELA) to 38 points (Algebra I). Over the past three years it has ranked in roughly the top 9% of Ohio schools and earned five stars each year. Algebra I proficiency was 100% in both 2024-25 and 2025-26. The district's scores match the school's in every grade 6–8 subject, which suggests Anna Middle is essentially the only provider at those grades; the two figures diverge only in Algebra I, where the school's accelerated group outperforms the wider district pool.
A few things are worth watching. Results dipped in 2025-26, mostly in 8th grade: science fell from 93.0 to 85.5, math 8 from 83.0 to 70.7, and ELA 8 from 88.7 to 72.3, while 6th grade math and 7th grade ELA improved. The school's average proficiency advantage narrowed by about 5 points, though its state rank held in the top 9% with five stars. Chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, slightly above the district's 6.3%, and at about 22.7 students per teacher the school carries a high load alongside its strong results. Note that free/reduced-lunch information is unavailable and the only spending figure dates to 2018-19, so funding and family-income context cannot be evaluated from this data.
