Summary

Pattengill School is an elementary school in Ann Arbor, MI, serving 206 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Ann Arbor Public Schools district.

Pattengill serves a notably diverse student body, with nearly half of its students eligible for free or reduced lunch—a much higher percentage than nearby schools like Angell School (17%), Bach Elementary School (14%), and Uriah H Lawton School (14%). The school's overall state ranking places it in the 66th percentile, a middle-tier performance within a district that boasts several top-10% schools. While Pattengill invests heavily in its students—spending over $20,000 per pupil and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8—its academic outcomes haven't yet matched those of higher-spending neighbors like Burns Park Elementary School or Eberwhite School, which spend less per student but rank significantly higher. This gap likely reflects the additional resources needed to support a student population with greater socioeconomic challenges.

There are bright spots worth noting. Pattengill's Hispanic students performed exceptionally well, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide—a five-star rating and a clear strength. However, test scores vary widely by grade and subject from year to year, suggesting that outcomes are heavily influenced by individual cohorts rather than consistent school-wide patterns. Chronic absenteeism (22.4%) is a concern, though it's notably lower than the district average of 35.7%. For parents considering Pattengill, the school offers a committed, well-resourced environment with a proven ability to support specific student groups, but families should be aware that overall academic performance is mixed and closely tied to the specific needs of each class.
