Summary

Pittsfield School is a K-5 elementary school in Ann Arbor, MI, serving 230 students within the Ann Arbor Public Schools district.

If you're looking at elementary schools in Ann Arbor, you'll notice that Pittsfield stands apart from its immediate neighbors in terms of academic performance. While nearby schools like Angell School, Martin Luther King Elementary School, and Burns Park Elementary School consistently rank in the top 10% statewide, Pittsfield currently sits in the 37th percentile. For example, in 3rd-grade math, only about 27% of Pittsfield students are proficient, compared to 86% at Angell and 78% at Martin Luther King. Interestingly, Pittsfield's scores are more similar to schools in the neighboring Ypsilanti Community Schools district, like Estabrook Elementary, than to its own district peers. The school also serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (43%) compared to those top-performing nearby schools (9-20%).

There are some notable bright spots and complexities here. Pittsfield actually spends more per student ($21,822) than Angell ($15,750) or Burns Park ($16,080), yet outcomes are lower—a sign that the additional funding may be going toward supporting a student population with higher needs rather than indicating inefficiency. One standout success: Hispanic students at Pittsfield ranked in the 84th percentile statewide in 2023-2024, a remarkable achievement that suggests certain instructional approaches may be working well for this group. On a concerning note, the school's overall ranking has declined since 2021-2022, and male students' performance has dropped sharply from the 49th to the 24th percentile, while female students have rebounded to the 50th percentile. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 41.6% in 2021-2022 to 22.8% now—still higher than top-performing peers (11-17%) but showing real improvement that could lay the groundwork for future academic gains.

Good; Multicultural environment, small school means personal attention from teachers and staff

Could use improvement: Uneven teaching staff, lack of parent involvement, discipline issues disrupt classes Close Quote

Small, friendly neighborhood school where the principal, office staff and teachers know all the children and parents by name. Engaged, creative, nurturing, and patient teachers. Diverse and rich school community with a strong and supportive PTO. We couldn't have wished for anything more for our two active and inquisitive boys. Close Quote

Both of my children attended Pittsfield and benefited greatly from the dedicated staff and principal. I could not have asked for a warmer, more welcoming environment for my children. Not only does Pittsfield teach academically, but the students also learn to grow socially. They are taught accountability and tolerance. They learn to have a sincere appreciation of being a part of such a diverse school. What an excellent place to experience their introduction to learning! I have no regrets and would recommend Pitttsfield to anyone looking for a well-rounded education for their children. Close Quote

Smaller class size and engaged teachers have made our four years at Pittsfield extremely positive. We shopped around and were so pleased that our neighborhood school could provide our conscientious learner with a great education while also meeting the needs of the truly diverse group of kids that make Pittsfield so wonderful. Make sure you visit before making a choice. Close Quote

After repeated complaints about a teacher who we felt was overly punitive and erratic in her teaching style, we transferred our kids to another school. Close Quote
