Chapman Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rockwood, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 444 students. The school is part of the Gibraltar School District, which is ranked 283 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chapman Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are often higher than the district and state, the 3rd-grade proficiency rates are generally lower. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.6% in 2021-2022 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Chapman Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 40.99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

When compared to other schools within the Gibraltar School District, Chapman Elementary School's performance is mixed, with some schools outperforming it and others underperforming. The district-wide consistency in chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors suggests a need for a comprehensive, district-level approach to address these challenges. In comparison to nearby schools outside the Gibraltar School District, such as those in the Flat Rock Community Schools and Airport Community Schools, Chapman Elementary School generally performs better academically.
