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.

I think the best thing about Chaska High School is the support so many of the teachers and advisers give. Compared to my last high school I feel like I have more options for support and better prepared to graduate. The worst thing about the school is probably just high school kids in general, it can be hard to make friends but if you join the many clubs they have during and after school you can easily find people you fit in with.

Chaska High School is a great place to go to school. The teachers are very caring and dedicated as well as supportive. The facilities aren't the best but not awful. It really feels like a family at chaska High School.

This school has had some really great aspects and some really bad ones. Racial incidents have continued and I don't feel the staff are handling it correctly.
