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.

This is my first year in the district and most of the kids are nice. I've had some teachers who haven't really taught me much, but that might just be me. I'd like to see more engagement with the teachers and students. The school is nice and the tennis team is really fun to be around. My overall rating is a 7/10, but considering i haven't been at the school that long my rating could change.

I loved my time at Chisago Lakes High School. I learned a lot not only in my education but also in myself as a person and what I wanted to become. Before coming to college, I didn't know what I wanted to do. My senior year my counselor helped me pick a school. When I visited the college, I wanted to attend I knew I needed to go. That was all through the help of high school showing me what I wanted to be when I graduated.

I really like the athletics program at Chisago Lakes. The teachers are also very hands on and work very hard to help their students. I would like to see elective courses change to focus more on future majors. There should also be more mental health resources.

I would agree that if your child has learning struggles don't send your child here. I would disagree with the other reviewers, never felt the school wanted parent involvement, in fact I felt they discouraged parents involvement. If your a parent that wants to be part of the process don't expect them...
