The school's math proficiency rates range from 20.2% to 41%, significantly lower than the state average of 20.7% to 49.8%.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (79.42%) indicates that Anna L. Klein serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 suggests that the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning may be an area for improvement. The school's consistently low performance and lack of improvement over the past three school years suggest the need for a more comprehensive and sustained approach to school improvement.
