The school is part of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, which is ranked 15 out of 24 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anne Wien Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alaska elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 119-169 out of 175-246 schools. Its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, has been consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, such as Woodriver Elementary and Barnette Magnet School, generally outperform Anne Wien Elementary in academic metrics and rankings. These higher-performing schools may provide valuable insights and potential areas for improvement at Anne Wien Elementary. While the school's higher spending per student compared to nearby schools suggests that additional resources alone may not be the primary driver of academic success, addressing the challenges at Anne Wien Elementary will require a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to improve student outcomes.

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

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
