AMANA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Amana Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Clear Creek Amana Comm School District school district, located in Middle Amana, IA with about 145 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
