Summary

Chapman High in Inman, SC, serves approximately 1,057 students in grades 9-12 within the Spartanburg 01 district, a 4-star rated district that ranks in the 80th percentile statewide. The school has shown strong momentum recently, jumping from 111th to 63rd in the state rankings (74th percentile) and earning a 4-star rating, though it remains below its historical peak of a 5-star rating in 2018-2019.

Chapman's standout strength is its exceptional work with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking 3rd statewide (95th percentile) with a 5-star rating—a remarkable achievement sustained over three consecutive years. The school also excels in mathematics, with 89.86% of students proficient in Algebra 1, dramatically outpacing the state average of 64.58% and even exceeding nearby academic leader Riverside High's most recent score. This math performance is particularly striking when compared to other local schools: Chapman outperforms Boiling Springs High by 53 percentage points and James F. Byrnes High by 44 points in Algebra 1. The school also maintains a low dropout rate of 0.7% and a graduation rate of 94.6%, both well above state averages. Notably, Chapman achieves these results while spending less per student ($11,550) than nearby Landrum High ($14,249), suggesting efficient resource allocation.

However, the school faces challenges in serving specific student groups. Performance for disabled students has declined sharply from the 78th percentile to the 34th percentile over three years, and gifted students rank only in the 40th percentile, suggesting the school may not be adequately challenging its highest achievers. Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent concern at 21.4%, above the district rate of 19.5%. The school also shows an unusual gender gap, with male students ranking 21 positions higher than female students statewide. While Chapman's recent improvement is encouraging, addressing these subgroup gaps and stabilizing year-to-year math score volatility will be key to sustaining its upward trajectory.
