Summary:
Zip code 75409 in Anna, Texas, is home to two high schools within the Anna Independent School District (Isd), serving grades 9-12 with a combined enrollment of over 1,650 students in a rapidly growing suburban area.
The standout school is Anna High School, a large traditional high school with 1,602 students that provides a solid college and career preparatory path. It holds a 3-star state rating and has shown a strong upward trend in its state ranking over the last three years, currently ranking in the 45th percentile. Its graduation rate is an impressive 94.0%, significantly outperforming the district average of 92.7%. In contrast, the Anna Academic Achievement Center is a very small alternative school with only 49 students, serving a high-needs population with a 67.35% free/reduced lunch rate. Its metrics, including a 77.8% graduation rate and a 19.1% dropout rate, reflect the challenges of its at-risk student body rather than a failure of the district.
Key metrics highlight the stark differences between the two schools. Anna High School excels in U.S. History, consistently outperforming the state average (71.28% vs. 70.17% in 2025-2026), while its weakest area is Algebra I (36.1% vs. 54.03% state). The Academic Achievement Center spends $30,403 per student—nearly three times more than Anna High School’s $11,586—likely due to specialized support services. A fascinating paradox is that while Anna High School’s state ranking has declined from the 69th to the 45th percentile over three years, its test scores in Biology, English I, and U.S. History have actually improved, suggesting other schools across Texas are improving at a faster rate. For parents, Anna High School offers a strong traditional education with improving academics, while the Academic Achievement Center serves as a critical safety net for students needing alternative pathways.
