Rachel's Challenge

November 17th marked a day of change for Chandler's School and the community of Russellville. On this Tuesday, the seeds of Rachel Joy Scott's challenge were sewn in students and adults that participated in the events throughout the day. As a result of the day's impact, several adult volunteers have come forward and 150 students have expressed interest in being a part of the newly formed Chain Links Club, a service and kindness oriented club.

Cause for Celebration

Signing the Proficient and Distinguished Banner is a Chandler's tradition!

On Tuesday, November 24th Chandler's celebrated historic test results! Students scoring Proficient and Distinguished were recognized with an award and the annual signing of the school posters. On a national level, Chandler's continued to meet all No Child Left Behind Act goals. On a state level, last year's students set a new precedent for success by scoring some of the highest test results to date. Thanks to all the businesses who donated food!

Here are some of the highlights...

Last year's third grade went WAY beyond the goal of 100 in math!!

Intermediate Scores for the past 3 years





Middle School Scores for the past 3 years

EXPLORE scores for the current 8th grade landed us at second in the district and our highest EXPLORE score to date.
