Summary

Chapman Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 446 students in Strongsville, Ohio, within the high-performing Strongsville City School District, which ranks 94th of 773 Ohio districts (88th percentile).

Chapman ranked 457th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26, placing in the 71st percentile with 4 stars — down from the 88th percentile in 2023–24 and 76th in 2024–25. Its test scores sit above state averages but below district averages: a simple average of its listed 2025–26 proficiency rates is 76.0%, versus 82.6% for the district and 63.8% for the state. Chapman trails the district in every tested area except 5th grade ELA. Fourth grade ELA is the clearest gap at 63.6% — only 1.8 points above the state and 15.9 points below the district — while Kinsner Elementary School reached 86.9%, Whitney Elementary School 80.3%, and Muraski Elementary School 76.3%. Fifth grade ELA is a bright spot at 87.1%, above the district's 84.1% and the state's 70.4%, though 5th grade math and science still lag the district.

Attendance is a major strength: Chapman's chronic absenteeism was 5.9% in 2025–26, less than half the district's 13.6% and far better than Brunswick Memorial Elementary School (13.8%) and Walter Kidder Elementary School (13.1%). The free/reduced-price lunch rate rose to 24.89% in 2024–25 from 16.81% the year before, and the student–teacher ratio reached 19.4, similar to Whitney and Kinsner but higher than Crestview Elementary School (17.2). Per-student spending was $10,796 in 2018–19, lower than same-district peers, and low-income student effectiveness fell from the 97th percentile in 2023–24 to 62nd in 2025–26. Notably, Hinckley Elementary School achieves top-ranked results with similar spending and class size. Parents may want to ask about targeted 4th grade reading support, 5th grade math and science, and how the school monitors these trends.
