Santa Anna Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Santa Anna Isd

Santa Anna ISD serves the town of Santa Anna and surrounding areas in Coleman County as a small, unified PreK-12 district. The district enrolls a small student population across two schools: an elementary campus and a secondary campus serving grades six through twelve. The enrollment spans all grade levels, with roughly balanced cohorts through the elementary grades and slightly larger high school grades.

The student body is predominantly white, with a substantial Hispanic enrollment and smaller populations of Black students and other groups. Demographic data on free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, students with individualized education plans, and English learners was not available, so a parent may want to inquire about the district's support infrastructure for economically disadvantaged families and students with learning differences or language needs.

Academic performance across the district presents a clear picture: students show stronger performance in English language arts than in mathematics, and both core subjects lag well behind state norms. In ELA across the tested grades, a modest plurality of students reached proficiency, with performance ranging from roughly one-quarter to just under one-half of students meeting or exceeding standards. In mathematics, performance is notably lower. Across the tested grades from third through eighth, fewer than one-third of students met or exceeded proficiency in any single grade, with several grades falling below that threshold. Science proficiency is similarly limited. Social studies results are particularly weak, with only a small fraction of tested eighth graders meeting standards. State testing data for high school is not included in these results, likely because Texas assesses core academics primarily in elementary and middle grades.

The district ranks above the midpoint among Coleman County's two districts on an overall proficiency index. Chronic absenteeism is a relative strength: the district's rate places it in the top quartile among county peers, suggesting that attendance patterns are more stable here than in nearby districts. Per-pupil spending is in the middle-to-upper range for the county.

The housing market around Santa Anna reflects the rural, small-town character of the area. Home values are modest, well below state and national medians, making this an affordable locale for families purchasing property. Mortgage affordability is reasonable relative to national benchmarks.

The district's strategy and recent direction were not available through public sources, so prospective families may want to contact the district directly to understand any initiatives underway to address the academic performance gaps, particularly in mathematics and science. The small student population means fewer course and program options than larger districts typically offer, though this also creates a close-knit school community where students and staff know one another well.
