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.

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 would describe this school as a criminal organization. They cover for one another. Teachers are not screened for drugs and background checks are not done. They lie about it and will not show proof. Half their phone numbers go to the same person. Data requests are ignored. Fake job titles with people who are never there. It's mind blowing.

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.

It's great. I loved all of the extra curricular activities Chaska High School has. Orchestra was really fun. The teachers are understanding and helpful. The CRC College Resource Center had scholarships that one could apply for that was local. And this was really helpful. The football games were fun too and the marching band was great.

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. They need to show what kind of behavior is not OK, rather than just telling it. I think a good step in the right direction would be the firing...

Chaska High School is a great school and it keeps improving. As parents, we've experienced bright, happy and energetic teachers, an enthusiastic principal, a supportive community and tons of opportunities for our kids to participate in music, athletics and activities. Since our district added a 2nd...
