My son is entering 1st grade. A couple of his cousins went there, so I'm very familiar with Chancey! I love the school, the staff, and they keep parents active! That's very important! Close Quote

My 3 children attend Chancey Elementary and I can't say enough good things about it. On paper, scores are not as high as other schools, but the teachers and administration are amazing! I have the privilege of volunteering and I am able to see the devotion the teachers and staff have towards reaching all students regardless of their ability and level. It is wonderful to see that those kids who are struggling having their needs met and those who are at a higher academic level being challenged. Everyone who works at Chancey has the same goal of growing each child based on his or her need. I highly recommend this school for all students whose parents want an environment of truly caring administration and staff. Close Quote
