Serving the neighborhoods of Anona and Indian Rocks Beach, Anona Elementary School is a highly rated K-5 school that consistently achieves an “A” rating from the Florida Department of Education, indicating sustained high student performance. Other school accolades include designation as a School of Excellence by the State of Florida. The school also ranks in the top 20% of schools in the state and is a top 10 elementary school in Pinellas County. Deeply rooted in community history, the school was originally established in 1874, moving to its current location on Indian Rocks Road in 1918. Although the building has changed, the school’s dedication to helping students succeed has not.

This status recognizes the efforts of the current school administration to enhance student quality of life by implementing the nationally researched Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) framework.

Anona Elementary School offers students opportunities to take part in over a dozen after-school clubs and activities, including a computer club, running club, and a music club. Overall, Anona Elementary provides 400 area students with an opportunity to excel both academically and socially, supported by a qualified team of dedicated teachers and staff.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
