Original Research by School Decision on Anna Middle School
Anna Middle School serves grades six through eight in a small rural village in Shelby County, Ohio, anchored economically by Honda's Anna Engine Plant. The school sits on a campus shared with the high school, separate from the village center. Enrollment is small, with roughly equal distribution across the three grades. The student body is predominantly white, and demographic data on free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility and special populations was not available.
The school's academic performance is strong. In math, proficiency stands in the upper portion of the range among Shelby County districts. English language arts performance is notably higher, placing the school above the midpoint for the county. Science results are especially strong. The overall proficiency index across tested subjects puts Anna Middle above the midpoint among the county's eight districts. Only one year of recent testing data was available; longer-term trend information was not present in the data, so a parent cannot yet assess whether these results reflect a sustained pattern or recent gains.
All students tested in math and English language arts participated fully in the state assessment. The science cohort was smaller, reflecting the fact that science testing applies to a subset of middle grades. A prior social studies assessment from several years ago showed strong results, though that test is no longer administered in the grades tested.
The village itself is a one-square-mile residential community along Interstate 75, with modest and gradual population growth over recent decades. Housing values are moderate, and the median home price sits below the state benchmark. The mortgage payment and price-to-income ratio remain accessible for families in the area. The dominant employer is the Honda Anna Engine Plant, which produces engine components and is undergoing investment to support hybrid and electric-vehicle production alongside traditional internal-combustion engines.
Civic infrastructure is minimal but functional. The historic Anna Town Hall anchors the small village center on West Main Street. The Anna Community Library operates as a branch of the Shelby County library system. No fixed-route public transit serves the area; families rely on personal vehicles. The village describes itself as having a strong sense of community and a family orientation, though specific information about walkability, downtown street life, or neighborhood character was limited in available sources.
The school district's operating levy was renewed by voters in November 2024, securing funding for day-to-day operations and staffing. This outcome means families will see continuity in programs and services, and property tax rates will remain stable for the levy period. Beyond this funding renewal, specific district-wide curriculum changes, pedagogical initiatives, or other strategic priorities for the middle school were not found in publicly available sources, so a parent may want to contact the school directly for details about instructional focus, program offerings, or recent improvements.
The school's address is 1 McRill Way in Anna, and it is a regular public school operated by the Anna Local district. It does not serve as a charter, magnet, or Title I school.
