I blame the DISTRICT for my 3-star rating, not the people on the ground in the school. In the 2022-2023 school year, the fifth grade classrooms of Chinn are holding between 29-31 students per classroom. The district did not see the need to divide the 5th grade into 4 classrooms of 22-23 students each, and that has taken a toll on the students, the teachers, and the parents. The students have done the best they can, but have you seen how LARGE a 10-11 year old child is recently? Imagine 30, 5 foot tall, 100 pound people with newly changing hormones and not-fully-developed-prefrontal-cortexes, and you can imagine how difficult this is for everyone. The poor, exhausted teachers. The school is doing the best they can with what they've been given, but the DISTRICT is to blame for not solving this at the beginning of the complaints in the fall. Thank you to the staff, teachers, and administrators in the building for doing a great job with your hands tied. Keep up the great work.

My girls love Chinn Elementary. I have 4 girls who are currently enrolled or are graduated. I have had a great experience with all the teachers and staff. I would highly recommend Chinn Elementry to anyone who ask.

Incredible sense of community and excellent, caring teachers and staff. They work hard to make sure the kids receive that extra special attention that each one deserves. They make it a fun and exciting place to be.

The best elementary school in the Park Hill School district! Alright I am biased but if your kids went to this school you would be too! Incredible sense of community and excellent, caring teachers and staff.
