Summary

Angell Elementary School is a public elementary school in Berkley, Michigan, serving 391 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Berkley School District, which is ranked 54 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Angell Elementary consistently performs above the state average in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies assessments across grades 3-5. The school's proficiency rates in these subjects are often higher than the Berkley School District's average, indicating Angell Elementary is a strong performer within the district. For example, in 2024-2025, Angell Elementary's 3rd-grade M-Step/ELA proficiency rate was 59.4%, compared to the district's 51.3% and the state's 38.9%. The school also has consistently high rankings for its African American, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups.

However, Angell Elementary has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, rising from 13.3% in 2020-2021 to 30.8% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Comparisons to nearby schools, such as Greenfield Elementary in the Birmingham Public Schools district, suggest that Angell Elementary has room for improvement, particularly in math and science. The school's increased per-student spending and relatively small class sizes may be contributing factors to its academic success.
