The district’s strategic plan contains several objectives connected to school facilities and long-range planning. In order to meet these objectives, the district engaged in a process of facilities master planning during the 2022-23 school year. 

The facility master plan is an ongoing process to address the following:

1. Grade-level Configuration
2. Future Facility Needs
3. Boundaries
4. Renovations & Construction

The facilities master plan allows Ankeny Community Schools to build on its tradition of excellence and to set the standard for high-quality student experiences, opportunities, and achievement. 

2022-2023 Facility Master Plan Work

On May 15, 2023, the Ankeny Board of Education approved elementary boundaries for the 2024-2025 school year (to accommodate the opening of Abbie Grove Elementary) and a new grade-level configuration below:

• 2024-2025 Elementary Boundaries: Please view the board-approved map here. 
• Grade-Level Configuration: Preschool, Elementary Grades K-5, Middle Grades 6-8, High Grades 9-12. (These changes will not take effect for the 2023-2024 school year. A planning committee will be formed to create an implementation timeline.)
