Students excel academically with a graduation rate of 96.4% which is 5% higher that the State of Iowa average.  Ankeny students compiled an ACT average composite score of 23.3.  This is a unique opportunity to lead a growing and progressive school district.

The District has12,250 students (experiencing an annual growth of 365 students over the past ten years) in 17 buildings and a teaching staff 67% of whom hold a Master’s Degree.
