Students and results
Graduation, proficiency and absence figures are the "All Students" values in the district's School Performance Profile. Proficiency is the share of students scoring proficient or above on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress. Chronically absent means present for 90% or less of the days enrolled. Certified enrollment is the state's count of the public-school students who live in the district, for school funding, taken on October 1 (Iowa Department of Education). It includes residents who open-enroll in another district, so it is not the number of students the district teaches. The state counts enrollment in full-time equivalents, so its figures carry decimals; they are rounded to whole students here.
Open enrollment, 2025-26
Iowa law lets families enroll in a public district they do not live in (Iowa Code §282.18). In the 2025-26 count, about 235 students open-enrolled into Ankeny and about 482 who live in the district open-enrolled out, a net loss of about 246. The state counts these in full-time equivalents (235.3 in and 481.7 out), so the whole numbers are rounded. Families choose for many reasons, so this is not a verdict on the district.
