As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
