Anamosa Community School District

What Anamosa Community School District does

Anamosa Community School District is a public K-12 school district serving the Anamosa community in Jones County, Iowa, founded in 1870 and operating under Iowa Department of Education oversight. The district operates three schools — Strawberry Hill Elementary (PK-4), Anamosa Middle School (grades 5-8), and Anamosa High School (grades 9-12) — all located in Anamosa, and additionally runs the Anamosa Raiders' Kids Club before/after school care program. The district's technology footprint is built on commodity edtech platforms rather than proprietary systems: Infinite Campus for student information and registration, the Clever Portal for single sign-on, and the Edgenuity-powered Anamosa Virtual Academy (launched May 2023) for online learning for grades 7-12. Distribution is exclusively direct to local families through the district's school buildings and the Infinite Campus online registration portal, supplemented by Iowa's open enrollment policy for out-of-district students.

The district's business model is that of a publicly funded government educational entity rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue comes from Iowa per-pupil state funding, local property taxes, federal grants, and modest fee-based programs (Virtual Academy, summer programs, before/after care), with no disclosed revenue figure. Customer segments are organized by grade band (elementary, middle, high school) plus a developing Homeschool Assistance Program (HSAP) targeting homeschool families in Jones County. Marketing and community outreach rely on the district website, Facebook, X (Twitter), and community partnerships with Jones Regional Education Center, Jones County Coalition, City of Anamosa, the Anamosa Chamber of Commerce, and the Anamosa School Foundation. Recent strategic activity in 2026 includes the proposed new Special Education Delivery Plan (March 2026) and exploration of the HSAP initiative (January 2026).
