About Ann Arbor Trail Magnet School

Ann Arbor Trail Magnet School is a one-of-a-kind option among Elementary Schools in Michigan, offering students in grades 2–8 an engaging, future-focused education. Ann Arbor Trail Magnet enrolls around 150 students, with a low 9:1 student-teacher ratio, which allows students high levels of individualized attention and a solid academic foundation. Programs such as robotics, STEM, and the DAPCEP (Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program) offer students a hands-on approach to learning that prepares them for future study. AP opportunities, which are a rarity at this level, provide motivated students chances and a distinct competitive advantage while still in elementary school. Although, given the community it serves, nearly 90% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, Ann Arbor Trail's motivating focus on academic growth, enrichment, and resilience makes it a unique option for families looking for innovative learning in Elementary Schools in Michigan.
