I Didn't Know That!

• Angell received an “A” on the Michigan School Report Card from the Michigan Department of Education.

• Angell was constructed in 1923. It was named after James Burrill Angell. He is best known for being the longest-serving president of the University of Michigan (1871–1909).

• Approximately 315 students are enrolled in grades K-5.

• Angell students in grades 3-5 take the MEAP (Michigan Educational Assessment Program) each year. In 2008-09, averaging 3-5 grade MEAP scores, 95% met or exceeded the standard in English Language, 97% in Reading, 85% in Writing, 98% in Mathematics, and 94% in Science. These scores exceed the AAPS district averages and substantially exceed the State averages.

• Members of the Rotary Club volunteer on a weekly basis to tutor students in reading or assist with math computation.

• The PTO and staff support a rich enrichment program directed by a part time staff member that provides outstanding opportunities to extend student learning.

• Girls on the Run, is an after school non-profit prevention program that encourages preteen girls (grades 3-5) to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running.
