of 1,492 Michigan Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Uriah H Lawton School is a K-5 elementary school in Ann Arbor, MI, serving 422 students as part of the highly-rated Ann Arbor Public Schools district.

Lawton is an academic standout, consistently ranking in the top 2% of all elementary schools in Michigan and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade. Its most recent state ranking places it at #20 out of 1,492 elementary schools, putting it in the 99th percentile. This places it ahead of nearby schools like Dicken Elementary School (89th percentile) and Burns Park Elementary School (92nd percentile). What truly sets Lawton apart is its exceptional performance in 5th-grade Science and Social Studies, where 76.9% and 69.2% of students are proficient, respectively—far exceeding state averages of 40% and 27.5%. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 13.5%, less than half the district rate of 35.7%, signaling a highly engaged student body and positive school climate.

Lawton demonstrates consistent excellence across all grade levels, with English Language Arts proficiency ranging from 66.7% in 3rd grade to 87.3% in 5th grade, and Math proficiency holding steady around 77-80% across grades. The school spends $21,594 per student, which is higher than peers like Angell School ($15,750) and Bach Elementary School ($17,058), yet delivers superior outcomes. Interestingly, Lakewood Elementary School spends more per student ($22,816) and has a lower student-teacher ratio, but Lawton's proficiency rates are often 30-40 percentage points higher across subjects. This suggests that school culture, instructional quality, and family engagement—as reflected in Lawton's low absenteeism—are powerful drivers of success. For parents seeking a school with sustained academic excellence, strong science and humanities programs, and a highly engaged community, Lawton is an exceptional choice.
