In Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 45.45% for 3rd grade to 63.16% for 4th grade, again outperforming the district but below the state average. The school's performance has shown some improvement over the past two years, with higher proficiency rates in 2024-2025 compared to 2023-2024.

Emma C Chase School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.47% in 2023-2024, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1 in the same school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $43,498, suggesting that the district is investing significant resources in the school. However, the academic performance still lags behind the state, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the resource allocation and the need for further analysis to identify areas for improvement.
