Testing, Accreditation and Affiliations

SAT AND ACT RESULTS Chadwick School students, like many around the country, are increasingly taking both SAT and ACT tests, ultimately choosing to lean in one direction or the other for second round testing. It becomes more difficult to make “apples to apples” comparisons of average SAT or ACT scores from year to year since fewer reflect the multiple testing results that had been seen in earlier years. Also, worth noting is Chadwick’s Class of 2018 was an unusually small class for us, at 63 graduates compared to typical classes of 90+ students. Special note for 2021: As with many students across the country, our students' testing options were severely limited. Not all of our students tested this year, often despite multiple attempts.

Schools are selected for the grants through a rigorous research process, resulting in the addition of an average of three top-level high schools to the Malone network each spring.

Heads of a number of Malone Foundation Schools, including Chadwick, formed a collaborative network under the guidance of Stanford University Online High School to share small classes for our strongest students via telepresence. Through the Malone Schools Online Network, students at participating schools may take advanced classes at other network schools for credit at their own school. Most of these classes are beyond the AP level. They are designated as MSON on our transcripts.
