Summary:
The Santa Anna Independent School District (Isd) contains a single high school, Santa Anna Secondary, which serves grades 7 through 12 with a total enrollment of 113 students in a small, rural community where over half of the students (57.52%) are economically disadvantaged.
Santa Anna Secondary offers very small class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 8.1:1 and spends $13,513 per student, yet its academic performance is mixed. The school’s state ranking has declined sharply from the 69th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 27th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. A standout strength is U.S. History, where 80% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, well above the state average of 70.17%. However, the school faces a significant mathematics crisis, with only 25% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to 54.03% statewide, and similarly low scores in 7th and 8th grade math. Reading and science scores also lag behind state averages, with English I Reading at 36.36% and Biology at 50%.
Key metrics include a graduation rate of 85.0% and a reported dropout rate of 0.0%, though the gap between these figures suggests some students may transfer or take longer to graduate. The school’s strong performance in U.S. History, contrasting with its struggles in math and reading, points to a potential bright spot in instruction that could be replicated. For parents, this school offers a close-knit environment with small classes, but the declining state ranking and below-average test scores in core subjects like math and reading are important factors to consider when evaluating educational options in this district.
