Summary

Albert Chapman Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 529 students in the Powell, Ohio area (43065), part of the Dublin City district, which is itself one of Ohio's stronger school systems. On the state's comparative ranking, Chapman has long been a solidly above-average school, but its 2025–2026 results — 68th percentile and 3 stars — are the lowest in the past decade and the first time it has dropped below 4 stars. Even so, Chapman scores above the Ohio average in every subject and grade tested; the slide reflects the district and nearby schools pulling ahead rather than a collapse in absolute performance. Third grade is the weakest spot, with the largest gaps behind the district average in both math and reading, and that group of students is worth watching as they move up.

Attendance is a genuine strength. Chronic absenteeism at Chapman is 9.7%, versus 15.1% for the district — roughly a third lower — and well below nearby Dublin schools such as Hopewell Elementary (17.1%) and Olde Sawmill Elementary School (17.5%). Chapman also does more with relatively less: it has the second-lowest per-student spending of eleven nearby schools and one of the larger class sizes (18.8 students per teacher). Across the neighborhood, Chapman ranks 8th of 11 comparison schools by 2025–2026 performance. Tyler Run Elementary School, less than a mile away in the Olentangy Local district, is at the 96th percentile, while Bluffsview Elementary School and Mary Emma Bailey Elementary School also rank in the top tier.

Within the school, results vary by group. Students with disabilities rank at the 71st percentile — above the school's overall standing — and English Language Learner students have historically performed well, though that group has slipped recently. Students from low-income families rank at the 40th percentile with 2 stars, a persistent weak spot across three years. Notably, Liberty Elementary School and Brookside Elementary School both serve higher-poverty populations yet rank higher, suggesting room to grow. About a quarter of Chapman students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In short, Chapman is a well-attended, above-state-average school that has lost some ground relative to its neighbors in 2025–2026 — a good school in a very competitive area.
