Summary

Amerman Elementary School in Northville, MI, is a K-5 public school serving 504 students within the highly-ranked Northville Public Schools district, which is consistently rated among the top districts in Michigan.

Amerman is an academic standout, ranking in the top 1% of elementary schools statewide and currently holding the #8 position out of 1,492 Michigan elementary schools. What truly sets it apart is its performance in the upper grades: 4th and 5th graders post proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are 8 to 12 percentage points above the district average, with scores in the high 80s. The school also excels in Science and Social Studies, where 5th-grade proficiency rates (86.6% and 74.6%, respectively) more than double the state averages. This well-rounded excellence extends beyond core subjects. Compared to nearby schools, Amerman outpaces its in-district peers like Moraine Elementary School (ranked #18) and Thornton Creek Elementary School (ranked #17), and it significantly outperforms schools in neighboring districts such as Orchard Hills Elementary School and Novi Woods Elementary School in the Novi Community School District.

Amerman also maintains exceptionally high attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.3%—less than half the district rate and a quarter of the state rate. Notably, the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,801) than many of its high-performing neighbors, including Moraine ($16,754) and Thornton Creek ($17,294), suggesting highly effective instructional practices. One minor anomaly is a dip in 3rd-grade math proficiency (62.8% versus the district's 79%), which stands out against otherwise stellar scores. Additionally, the school has shown remarkable consistency, with only slight year-to-year ranking fluctuations (e.g., #17 in 2024-2025 before rebounding to #8). For parents seeking a top-tier, cost-effective elementary education with strong results across all subjects and grade levels, Amerman is an exceptional choice.

What people are saying

Saturday, July 6, 2013

Amerman Elementary has a regular elementary program (K-5), and is also the magnet school for the district's full-time pull out gifted and talented program (called ALPS - for Alternative Learning Program for Students) for grades 3-5. The facility is old, but much more important is that the faculty are excellent. The principal who has run the school for over 20 years, Dr. Steve Anderson, just retired, and was truly exceptional. He assembled, led and supported the teachers in a way that is rare today. We hope the new principal will continue this tradition of excellence.

My son has been in the ALPS program for 2 years. The faculty are exceptional and the kids are incredible. They have implemented a 1:1 student to laptop program that is unique in the district.
My wife and I are thankful for the ALPS program every day we are here. We used to live in Texas, where, due to No Child Left Behind, the focus was on struggling ESL students and the gifted program was limited to one day per week. Close Quote
