Summary:
The Chapman Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Chapman area, providing education for grades 6-8. While the school's overall academic performance is slightly below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, it stands out with stronger proficiency in Science, where 8th-grade scores nearly double the state average.
Chapman Middle School serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, with a high free/reduced lunch rate of 42.45%. However, the school benefits from higher-than-average spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic strengths. Over the past three years, the school has seen some fluctuations in proficiency rates, with declines in ELA and Math but improvements in Science, suggesting a need to focus on core academic areas while building on the school's science curriculum and instruction.
Overall, Chapman Middle School appears to be a relatively strong performer within the state, with pockets of academic excellence and access to more resources compared to other schools. Further analysis of the school's specific programs, teaching practices, and resource allocation could provide valuable insights to help drive continuous improvement and better support the needs of its student population.
