Located in the town of New Castle, Chappaqua has a population of 16,650. An academically-oriented community, Chappaqua sees the overwhelming majority of its graduates on to higher education. Typically, over 15% of nationally acclaimed seniors earn National Merit Scholarships, while the top quarter of the class consistently gains admission to the country's most selective colleges and universities. The area is also home to several private and parochial schools.
