Summary

Chapman Middle School serves 250 students in grades 6–8 in Chapman, Kansas. In SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings, it earned 4 stars and ranked in the 80th percentile statewide, just above the Chapman district’s 78th-percentile standing. The school’s most important strength is that its 2025–2026 proficiency rates—52% in English language arts, 48% in mathematics, and 54% in science—were higher than state rates in all three subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Chapman leads in English language arts and mathematics, with results averaging 11 and 9 percentage points above the nearby-school averages. It also leads in those subjects over the district, by 3 points in English language arts and 4 in mathematics, though it trails the district in science by 3 points. Science is its clearest advantage over the state and district: Chapman is 16 points above the state and 3 above the district, but 2 points behind Fort Riley Middle School. It ranks first among the three nearby schools in English language arts and math, and second in science. Seventh grade is a relative soft spot: seventh-grade math is 39%, only 1 point above the state and 5 points below Fort Riley.

Results have risen considerably since 2022–2023: English language arts increased 23 percentage points, math 24, and science 20, moving all three subjects from below the state to above it. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 37 in 2021–2022 to 80 in 2025–2026. Chapman is the smallest nearby school, with 250 students, and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 15.5, compared with a nearby-school average of 11.7. Its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 39%, versus 41% at Fort Riley; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results. One notable group-specific finding is that SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking of how well Chapman serves special education students declined from the 82nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 58th in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 80th-percentile ranking.
