Chamberlain Elementary - 03 has a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is higher than the state average. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 59.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher spending per student at $13,859, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 110 out of 204 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 159 out of 300 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
While the school has some bright spots, such as 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math that exceed the state averages, the overall academic performance suggests opportunities for improvement. Understanding the root causes of the lower proficiency rates and implementing targeted interventions could help the school better support student learning and reverse the declining statewide ranking.
