GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Chanhassen is a wonderful high school with an unconfined atmosphere. As a student you get a lot of options regarding your education and how you wish to spend your time there. I've been to three separate high schools and Chan has definitely been my favorite so far. On the downside I've heard of some bullying that has happened in the past, however I have never witnessed it. Overall Chan has been a great school for me so far.

It is a great experience. We do what we called 'personalized learning.' The goal of this is to transition students to the college life. We get to sign up for our classes and choose what is best for us. During the week, there are designated times to choose what classes teachers are offering and decide what is best for our own learning. It is not traditional class where everyone is on the same pace, but everyone is doing their learning at their own pace. I find this very helpful because it is preparing me for the college life and I learn a lot of time management skills along the way as well. it is a great place to learn and although there are downsides to this freedom, it promotes a lot of growth.

It is a pretty okay school, I wish there were some better elective options but I love the work spaces around the school and kids have a lot of free time to get work done during Wednesday and Thursday WIN times.

The most horrible experience for any young girl who is on the mean girls list. Yes everyone is aware including all teachers, parents and staff. You cannot focus on your classes, sports, choir because you are taunted by this group of young ladies who feel privileged, entitled and above all. It solely...

Beautiful facility. All the bells and whistles. Really wonderful staff. But, unfortunately, it was our experience that many of the students are quite materialistic and unwelcoming. If your child is a square peg or values substance over the superficial, they may have a challenging time at this school...

Beautiful new building, nice staff and teachers, but very limited diversity and a strong sense of self-entitlement and self-importance. Not a bad school but not the greatest.
