GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Me and all my brothers went their it is a very good school the only thing wrong with it when I went their was the little buildings in the back that was the worst part and the kindergartners are separate from the nurse and the rest of the school

Not a horrible school by any means, but some of the teachers and staff refuse to act when they see kids being racist, sexist, or homophobic. There is no performance space for any performing arts class, and admin. doesn't seem to really care about anything besides the sports teams (and even then, barely any team outside of football). Very upper-middle-class white demographically, which leads to a lot of stuck-up kids who live in a bubble of life.

In February, Valentine’s Day is celebrated but Black History Month is not. They simply ignore it.

We are so grateful for the supportive teachers, staff and administration at Chapin Elementary. We couldn't ask for a better educational environment for our child. Thank you CES for all you do for our family!
