Summary:
Chapman has four elementary schools serving prekindergarten through grade 5: Chapman Elementary, Enterprise Elementary, Blue Ridge Elementary and Rural Center Elementary; enrollment ranges from 62 to 282 students. The schools’ equal-weight averages are above Kansas results in all three reported subjects: 54% in ELA versus 46% statewide, 46% in math versus 41%, and 48% in science versus 38%. The central takeaway is that area averages are above the state, but results vary sharply by school—especially in math, from 57% at Blue Ridge to 20% at Enterprise.
Chapman Elementary leads all-grades ELA at 65%, 25 percentage points above Enterprise Elementary at 40%. Blue Ridge Elementary leads math at 57%, 37 points above Enterprise, and reported science at 64%; Enterprise’s science result is 40%. Three of the four schools are above the state in ELA and math, and all three schools with science results are above it. Rural Center Elementary has a notable grade-level strength: its fourth-grade math result of 60% is the highest reported, despite its fourth-grade ELA result of 40%. Rural Center has no reported all-grades science score.
Results have shifted differently across schools. The three-school science average rose 12 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, moving from 5 points below the state to 10 points above it; the math average rose only 1 point, so its lead over the state narrowed from 6 points to 5. Chapman gained 11 points in ELA and 13 in math, while Blue Ridge fell 8 points in ELA and 9 in math; Enterprise’s math result fell 7 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings rose from 37 to 71 for Chapman and from 66 to 82 for Blue Ridge, while Enterprise’s moved from 25 to 21. School size and ratios do not follow a simple pattern: Enterprise has the lowest ratio, 9.6 students per teacher, but the lowest all-grades ELA and math results; Blue Ridge’s ratio is 10.2, and Chapman’s is 13.7. Free/reduced-lunch rates also vary, from 30% at Blue Ridge to 74% at Enterprise, as context about the schools rather than an explanation of their scores.
