About Chamberlain Elementary School
Chamberlain Elementary serves 310 students in kindergarten through fourth grade in Goshen, Indiana. The school earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating built on strong results across every major category. Academic performance scores 8.1, while the growth score reaches 9.7, meaning students are advancing at a rate well above state norms.
At 13.5 students per teacher, class sizes stay small enough for a regular public school to deliver real individual attention. Statewide rankings put the performance in perspective. Chamberlain places 30th out of 1,823 public schools across Indiana, outperforming 98% of schools in the state.
Among Indiana elementary schools specifically, it ranks 22nd out of 1,047 — strong results no matter how the comparison is framed.

The growth score in particular deserves attention: it reflects how much students advance year over year, not just where they start.
For families comparing elementary options in Goshen, that combination of high achievement and sustained academic momentum is hard to replicate elsewhere in the state.
