Pattengill Elementary School is an elementary school in the Ann Arbor Public Schools. It is located at 2100 Crestland Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. Melita Alston is the school principal.

Pattengill Elementary teaches grades 3-5; it is paired with Pattengill Elementary School for Young Fives and grades K-2. These are the only paired school in the Ann Arbor district. This unique structure creates a rich learning opportunity, which allows the Super Pair to focus on the distinct developmental needs of the children at each of the two schools.  It also results in multiple teachers at each grade level, which expands the variety of teaching expertise available to our students and staff. Bryant/Pattengill students continue on to Tappan Middle School.

The school mascot is the Pumas.
