Summary

Haisley Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Ann Arbor, MI, serving 400 students within the highly-rated Ann Arbor Public Schools district.

Haisley is a solid, above-average school that sits in a neighborhood of exceptionally high-performing peers. While its overall state ranking places it in the 79th percentile, nearby schools like Wines Elementary (97th), Eberwhite School (96th), and Bach Elementary (99th) all rank in the top 5% statewide. This means Haisley's comparatively lower ranking is more a reflection of exceptional competition than any sign of failure. In math, Haisley's proficiency rates trail these neighbors—for example, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 57.8% compared to 75.7% at Dicken Elementary and 84% at Bach. Interestingly, Haisley actually spends more per student ($20,085) and maintains smaller class sizes (14.1 student-teacher ratio) than Wines ($15,163; 17.2 ratio) or Bach ($17,058; 15.9 ratio), suggesting the performance gap may be tied more to student demographics than to resources or instructional quality.

One of Haisley's clear strengths is student engagement. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 18.3% is nearly half the district average of 35.7%, indicating strong family involvement and a welcoming school environment. The school also shows a bright spot in 5th-grade science, where proficiency (59.1%) is close to the district average (63.4%) and trending upward. However, the school faces challenges in serving its economically disadvantaged students, with rankings for low socio-economic status students dropping to the 40th percentile. This suggests a wider achievement gap within the school compared to more affluent neighbors. For parents, Haisley offers a well-resourced, engaging environment with strong results for many students, though families should be aware that outcomes vary more by subgroup than at some neighboring schools.
