Anne Wien Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to surrounding schools, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, Native American, and multi-racial students.

Nearby schools, such as Woodriver Elementary and Chinook Montessori Charter School, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings compared to Anne Wien Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I was a former student at this school, They are very good with education, (sorta) But they don't really care about the bullies that bully other kids. They won't let the victim to speak their side of what happened, and let the bully to not get in trouble. Instead the victim gets in trouble. Close Quote

Open Quote My son has been attending Anne Wien for 4 years and I could not be happier. The principal, teachers, and staff are the most involved and friendly I've dealt with in my 22 years as a parent. I am sad to see such a low rating on this school. Families are always welcome. The teachers are always available. They partake in field trips, and community involvement. I am quite pleased my son can attend Anne Wien. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
