Lansdowne

I came on here and was surprised to see certain local schools ranked higher than Lawton when it's nearly impossible to get a spot in Lawton if you want to get in from another school zone or outside AAPS boundaries. There's a reason why local Ann Arbor families pick this school and then when kids grow up and come back to raise their own families, pick this school again. Families are happy and involved and successful, the school teaches Mandarin, and has excellent arts teacher. Parents are involved and like everyone in Ann Arbor, high achievers. I question the reliability of great schools when I see schools on here with wide open enrollments receive high rankings here. Locals know the best elementary schools in town and some of these rankings don't add up with local reputation. Hmm.
