Chapman Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Chapman's 3rd-grade students, in particular, excel, with proficiency rates of 43.23% in ELA and 59.45% in Math, compared to the state averages of 38.35% and 50.23%, respectively. The school also supports its special education and disabled student populations effectively, ranking in the top 30 and top 5 Kansas elementary schools in these subgroups.

While Chapman Elementary's overall performance is strong, the school faces some challenges in supporting its white and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, ranking in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools for these subgroups in recent years. The school may also benefit from analyzing the instructional practices and interventions used for its 4th-grade students, as this grade level consistently underperforms compared to the 3rd and 5th grades. Nonetheless, Chapman Elementary remains a solid-performing school, outperforming the nearby Enterprise Elementary school, though it lags behind several high-performing elementary schools in the Geary County Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
