Summary

Chaparral Elementary is a highly-regarded K-6 public school serving 648 students in the Claremont Unified School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 85th percentile of all California elementary schools.

Academically, Chaparral's students outperform both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. The school is particularly effective in supporting specific student groups, with its Hispanic, low socioeconomic status, and Special Education students ranking in the 87th, 92nd, and 88th percentiles statewide, respectively. A standout strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.6%, which is less than a third of the Claremont Unified district average and suggests a highly engaged school community. Furthermore, the school achieves these strong results cost-effectively, spending less per student than most other elementary schools in the district.

Within Claremont Unified, Sycamore Elementary and Chaparral form a top tier, outperforming other district schools like Oakmont Elementary and Sumner Elementary. Chaparral also performs significantly better than schools in neighboring districts such as Pomona Unified and Ontario-Montclair, even though those districts often spend more per student. Parents should note a common "fifth grade dip" in math scores across the district, and that while Chaparral's statewide ranking has gradually declined over the past decade, this is a trend seen across the high-performing Claremont district.
