Preparing Every Learner for Success.
About us
Serving one of the fastest-growing communities in the nation, the Ankeny Community School District enjoys a reputation as one of the Midwest’s premier public school districts. United by a commitment to ensure every learner is prepared to achieve a lifetime of personal success, our district offers boundless opportunities in academics, athletics, the arts, and other extracurricular activities. As our community grows, it is becoming increasingly diverse, with close to 20% of our students identifying as people of color. Our district is deeply committed to equity and inclusion and to ensuring the success of all children. We believe all students benefit when they learn from and interact with teachers and leaders from a variety of backgrounds, and so we strive to build a diverse team of exceptional adults laser-focused on doing what is best for the young people in their care. The Ankeny Community School District does not discriminate based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, physical attributes, physical or mental ability or disability, ancestry, political party preference, military affiliation, socioeconomic status, or familial status.

Wondering How Volunteers Make a Difference in Our Schools? 📚 A 5th-grade teacher needed help reviewing books with students. A family friend stepped up, and two more amazing community members joined in too! 📖 Our literacy teacher benefits from two incredible regular volunteers who dedicate their time each week to help students improve their reading and literacy skills. ❤️Our library thrives thanks to a dedicated volunteer who is also the mother of one of our special education teachers! She organizes books and treats our staff to delicious homemade baked goods. Join us and make a difference too! Sign up on our Volunteer Website today and be part of our wonderful community. #VolunteerPower #AnkenySchools #CommunityHeroes https://ow.ly/QcZB50SnAnJ
