Research Angell School public Schools in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

“I am a former student of Angell. This is an amazing school and I miss it so much. My youngest sister will be graduating this year and my whole family will truly miss it. I love each and every teacher there, they have such a great staff. They also have an amazing music department. In two years they will start teaching languages there. Angell has just had a turf soccer field put in and they are dedicating it to a very important man who passed away this October. The Ice Cream Social is on June 2nd, please fell free to come and check out our amazing school!”

“I attented Angell for many years, and it was a great place to be. The teachers are very involved and everyone there was welcoming and really made me feel at home and safe. Even after graduating I still feel like part of the Angell community.”

“Nice and friendly enviroments for kids. Lot of extracurricular activities. Especially music is very good. Gym and outside playgrounds are excellent. Reading groups and reading buddies boost children ability and interest in reading. Teachers are supportive and well prepared, with some interest in experimenting with new methods. My daughter was in first grade for only a few months, but she loved it.”

“my child attended angell school for a number of years. He no longer attends angell. bullying tends to be allowed at angell. it appears that the rule of order there is that if no one is hitting, then everything is ok. any child can say anything he or she wants to another child, up to and beyond the point of verbal harrassment, with no repercussions to the bully whatsoever. i am disgusted with this school.”

“My daughter went to this school for her second grade level only, but was brought from a below kindergarten reading level to fourth grade level with similar improvement in math. This school has amazing community involvement, allows for a hugely diverse student body and actively encourages parent involvement. First class elementary ed!”

“This is the wealthiest elementary school district in Ann Arbor, and so there are quite a few 'snobbish' individuals. The parents, especially the stay-at-home moms from the central city area, can be VERY clickish and can make it very difficult for the parents of new students to get involved in activities such as PTo, ice-cream socials, etc. However, there is a very high level of involvement by these same parents, so maybe there is a trade-off. One of the school board members has a son in school here, and he is very interested in the goals and needs of the educational mission. Overall, pretty good school, especially if you can deal with the snotty attitudes, the kids don't seem to notice too much.”
