High Schools in Anna Independent School District (Isd)

The Anna Independent School District (Isd) in Texas contains two high schools serving grades 9-12: Anna High School, a comprehensive school with 1,602 students, and the Anna Academic Achievement Center, an alternative school with only 49 students. The district ranks in the 19th percentile statewide, indicating significant room for improvement compared to other Texas districts.

Anna High School is the clear standout, ranking in the 45th percentile (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year, while the Achievement Center ranks in the 1st percentile (0 stars). Anna High School boasts a 94% graduation rate and a low 1.4% dropout rate, compared to the Achievement Center's 77.8% graduation rate and 19.1% dropout rate. However, Anna High School's ranking has declined over three years, from the 69th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 45th percentile currently, a trend that warrants attention. The Achievement Center spends $30,403 per student—nearly 2.6 times more than Anna High School's $11,586—yet achieves far lower academic outcomes, highlighting the high cost and difficulty of intensive intervention for at-risk students.

The performance gap between the two schools is stark. In English I Reading, Anna High School achieved 53% proficiency versus 0% at the Achievement Center, and in U.S. History, Anna High School reached 71% proficiency compared to just 12% at the Achievement Center. A bright spot for Anna High School is English II, where it achieved 69% proficiency in 2024-2025, significantly above the state average of 56%. The Achievement Center reports a puzzling student-teacher ratio of 70:1, which is unusually high for an alternative school and likely reflects a very small staff. Overall, while Anna High School provides a solid education for most students, the district's overall performance is dragged down by the Achievement Center's severe challenges.
