Summary

Mary D Mitchell School is an elementary school in Ann Arbor, Michigan, serving 395 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently lower academic performance, higher chronic absenteeism, and a larger proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the district and state averages.

Despite spending more per student than the district and state, Mary D Mitchell School's academic proficiency rates lag behind. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 17% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 56.3% for the Ann Arbor Public Schools district and 38.9% for the state. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 38.1% in 2023-2024 was also much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, 54.18% of students at Mary D Mitchell qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Ann Arbor Public Schools district, Mary D Mitchell School performs significantly worse. For example, Burns Park Elementary and Angell School, which are both within a few miles of Mary D Mitchell, consistently rank in the top 200 and top 10 Michigan elementary schools, respectively, and have much higher academic proficiency rates. Addressing the challenges at Mary D Mitchell School will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the specific needs of its diverse student population.
