Summary

Chapelfield Elementary School is a K–5 school at 280 Chapelfield Rd in Gahanna, Ohio, serving 409 students in suburban Franklin County as part of the Gahanna-Jefferson City School District.

Academically, Chapelfield is solidly above average. In 2025–26 it ranked 463rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 70th percentile, with 4 stars — recovering from a 61st-percentile dip in 2023–24. On the 2025–26 state tests the school beat Ohio's proficiency rates on all seven measures, with the widest gaps in 5th-grade math (78.1% vs. 59.1% statewide) and in 3rd- and 4th-grade ELA. Its one weak spot is 5th-grade ELA, where 73.6% proficiency trails the district's 82.9% and has fallen for three straight years. Results for some student groups stand out: English Language Learners rank at the 88th percentile and African American students at the 87th — both above the school's own 70th-percentile standing. Students with disabilities are the exception, at the 44th percentile with 2 stars, the only group below the school overall.

Compared with nearby schools, Chapelfield's operating conditions are a real advantage. Its 14.1 students per teacher is the lowest of any school in this comparison — well below Royal Manor Elementary School (16.5), Goshen Lane Elementary School (17.8), and Lincoln Elementary School (21.4) — and its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6% is far below the district's 17.3%. The two closest schools, Royal Manor (0.55 mi) and Goshen Lane (1.13 mi), serve similar or slightly higher-poverty populations but rank 60th and 49th percentile, while out-of-district options such as Legacy Academy of Excellence sit at the 2nd percentile with a 34:1 ratio. In short: a consistently above-average school with small classes, low absenteeism, and clear growth areas in 5th-grade ELA and special education.
