Welcome to Lake Ann Elementary
The mission of the Lake Ann Elementary School is to create a positive, safe, and caring environment that promotes high levels of academic performance, builds personal responsibility, develops cooperation and fosters an appreciation of learning within members of our school community.
About Us
We are proud to be a multi-year State of Michigan Reward School for “Beating the Odds”. This award was for outperforming the school’s predicted ranking and/or similar schools that share our socioeconomic data. We have also been recognized by Bridge Magazine as an Academic State Champ. Our staff is passionate about teaching – with love of the subject matter, dedication to our students and a real passion for the activity of teaching and learning. The Lake Ann PTA is a very involved parent group that provides our students with many activities in which to learn and grow, including field trips, movie nights, and family fun nights. Lake Ann has a population of 180 students.
