GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Chapin High School is overall a school that is college ready and academically advanced school. However, some of the teachers in the school prefer students with athletes over students not doing them. It is obvious sometimes that they significantly prefer some students better than others. Also, some students are not disciplined clearly and they tend to repeat the wrongs they do.

My overall experience with Chapin Highschool was amazing. I loved the teachers the I was blessed with throughout the years. They were able to help me grow as a person in and outside of the classroom. I loved the friends and people that I met there that helped me become the person that I am today.

I moved to Chapin in May 2023, and was very excited to start school in the fall. From the first day, I was welcomed with open arms by both the staff and students. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Some hillbilly kids tattled because they were slightly uncomfortable and inconvenienced learning about racism. Not only are the cowards, their parents are also spineless.

As a caucasian parent, I support Mary Wood and her teachings. Students absolutely should be reading material such as Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World and Me".

Wonderful school that has far exceeded my expectations moving to Chapin! The kind caring staff go above and beyond what is expected. The amount of school pride is glowing. I would give six stars if I could.
