Summary

Pattengill Elementary School is a public school in Berkley, MI, serving 295 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly-rated Berkley School District.

Pattengill is a solid performer with a consistent 4-star rating, and it shows particular strength in the early grades. In the most recent school year, 3rd-grade proficiency in both English Language Arts (58.3%) and Math (66.7%) outpaced the district average and were well above state levels. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4%, compared to 17.8% for the district and 27.9% statewide, which points to a positive and engaging school climate. However, there is a noticeable dip in 4th grade, where proficiency in both ELA and Math drops to 47.8%, falling below district averages. This pattern has persisted over multiple years, and 5th-grade scores in math and social studies also trail the district, suggesting a challenge in maintaining academic momentum as students move through the upper elementary grades.

Within the Berkley School District, Pattengill's performance is mixed compared to its peers. While it excels in 3rd grade, its 4th-grade math proficiency (47.8%) is significantly lower than Rogers Elementary School's 69.4%. The competitive landscape is also notable: neighboring Birmingham Public Schools schools like Pierce Elementary School rank in the 94th-98th percentile statewide, with 5th-grade ELA proficiency over 20 points higher than Pattengill's. On a positive note, Pattengill shows exceptional effectiveness with its African American students, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide in the most recent year. The school's per-student spending of $17,854 is comparable to higher-performing Birmingham peers, suggesting the challenge in upper grades may be more about instructional strategies than resources.
