Reviewed:

Wendler Middle School is located in midtown Anchorage off of Northern Lights Blvd. It s a little dangerous for the kids walking home if they are not using the bus as they would have to cross one of two major roads to get home. There are better middle schools I would recommend if locating to the Anchorage area such as Hanshew middle school. The school is older looking and in need of updates.
