This school was the best thing to ever happen to me. It is so great. It may be the smallest, but that is what makes it feel more like a home. You know everyone and have to deal with the people you may not necessarily like. It is also the most diverse middle school. The teachers are fantastic and actually care about the kids, and also have a great sense of humor. Our athletic department always does it's job and is usually proficient in team work and succeeding the goals of the athlete. The school is newly remodeled and really nice looking inside and out. The decipline is fair and kids stay in line. This is by far the best middle school for your child, thank you.

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.
