Summary

Chippewa Elementary School is a public elementary school in Holtsville, New York, serving 524 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Sachem Central School District, which is ranked 524 out of 874 school districts in the state.

Chippewa Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state. While its 3rd-grade students outperformed the district and state in both ELA and Math, their 4th and 5th-grade performance was below the averages. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 846 out of 2,201 schools in 2020-2021 to 1,325 out of 2,445 schools in the current 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating. Chippewa's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and Hispanic and White students showing mixed results compared to the state.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Sachem Central School District, Chippewa's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools, such as Hiawatha School, in certain academic areas, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Tamarac Elementary School and Cayuga School. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests that it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may impact academic achievement. Chippewa Elementary School's performance indicates areas for improvement, particularly in the upper grades and for specific student subgroups, and the school could benefit from targeted interventions and a closer examination of its curriculum and instructional practices.

Wonderful School, the teachers are excellent. The school is very good compared to others in the area. 2013 test scores are flawed across the state due to Common Core Standards being tested but standards not yet implemented. Close Quote
