Anna L. Klein has consistently performed below state averages on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 33.7% in 3rd grade to 62.7% in 8th grade, compared to state averages of 44.9% to 57.1%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates at Anna L. Klein were even lower, ranging from 20.2% in 8th grade to 41% in 3rd grade, compared to state averages of 20.7% to 49.8%. The school's performance on science assessments was also significantly below state averages, with only 15.2% of 5th graders and 9.7% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to state averages of 30.1% and 19%, respectively.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 79.42% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1 and per-student spending of $11,321 for the 2018-2019 school year suggest that resources may not be effectively allocated to address the academic needs of the students. Addressing these challenges at both the school and district levels could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Anna L. Klein.
