Chesterfield Township Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 70.7% compared to the state average of 52.7%. The school's performance is particularly strong in ELA, with 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade proficiency rates exceeding 60% in recent years, significantly higher than the state averages. In Mathematics, the school's performance is also above the state average, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates reaching as high as 61% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates for 5th-grade students are impressive, reaching 47% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 30.1%.

While Chesterfield Township Elementary School outperforms most nearby schools in academic performance, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.0% in 2022-2023 to 14.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1.55% to 2.52% over the past three years, indicating a relatively affluent student population. The school should address the concerning increase in chronic absenteeism and explore ways to improve the performance of certain student subgroups, such as white and Asian students, to ensure all students are reaching their full potential.
