Chaplin School District

Chaplin School District is a small school district in Connecticut that serves the town of Chaplin. The district has only one school, Chaplin Elementary School, which provides education for students in grades PK-6. With a total enrollment of 144 students, Chaplin Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students.

Academically, Chaplin Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's proficiency rates in SBAC/English Language Arts (33.3%) and SBAC/Mathematics (30%) are lower than the state averages of 45.5% and 41.8%, respectively, its proficiency rate in NGSS/Science (50%) is slightly higher than the state average of 51%. The school's ranking and rating have fluctuated over the years, with a high of 224 out of 538 schools and a 3-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year, and a low of 420 out of 557 schools and a 1-star rating in the 2012-2013 school year.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.1 and a high spending per student of $23,094. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (41.67%) suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance. Overall, Chaplin School District and its sole school, Chaplin Elementary, face a mix of strengths and areas for improvement in providing a high-quality education to the community.
