Lots of clubs, but they don't announce meetings anymore.

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!
