Summary

Chamberlain Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 310 students in grades K-4 in Goshen, Indiana, which is part of the Goshen Community Schools district. While the district is ranked 222 out of 380 in the state, Chamberlain Elementary consistently outperforms the district average on standardized tests in both English Language Arts and Math.

Chamberlain's test scores are a bright spot, with 40.63% of students proficient or better in ELA and 46.25% proficient or better in Math, compared to the district averages of 32.74% and 40.19%, respectively. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 32.8% over the past few years. Additionally, Chamberlain has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, between 71.49% and 81.99%, indicating significant economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Goshen district, Chamberlain stands out with its stronger academic performance, particularly in Math.

However, when compared to schools outside the Goshen district, such as Concord East Side Elementary and New Paris Elementary, Chamberlain's test scores lag behind, suggesting room for improvement to reach the level of the top-performing elementary schools in the region.

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
