Summary

Chamberlain Elementary School is a K–4 school at 428 N 5th St in Goshen, Indiana, serving 342 students as part of Goshen Community Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranks 462nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (54th percentile, 3 stars) — the only 3-star elementary in its district, which itself rates 2 stars at the 37th percentile. That stands out because 80.12% of Chamberlain students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the highest poverty rate in this comparison set.

Chamberlain leads every Goshen elementary in ELA, math, and science. Science is the standout: 47.13% proficient versus a Goshen peer average of about 30%, nearly triple West Goshen Elementary School's 16.07%, and the only Goshen elementary above the state's 43.8%. Fourth-grade ELA (44.83%) tops the Goshen group, but third-grade ELA (28.79%) trails the state by nearly 12 points and beats only Model Elementary School — roughly a 16-point gap between consecutive grades in one building. Elsewhere, New Paris Elementary School (25.61% free/reduced lunch) reaches 70.28% math, and Concord Ox Bow Elementary School posts 48.50% ELA and 52.10% math while spending roughly $3,000–$3,600 less per pupil than Chamberlain's $13,757.

Two cautions temper the picture. Chronic absenteeism has fallen fast, from 30.5% to 17.7% in three years, now below the district — but it remains the highest among Goshen elementaries and 1.0 point above the state. ELA has also slid 7.8 points over three years, from 45.74 to 37.91, while math and science hold or climb. The 3-star rating currently rests on math and science; third-grade reading is the metric most likely to decide whether Chamberlain's five-year turnaround holds.

I have nothing but good things to say about this school and the staff. The students are in good hands. The staff seems to be truly interested and invested in the best interest of the students. We have had great teachers so far in the two years we have been at Chamberlain. Close Quote
