Summary:
There is one school in this area: World Learner Charter School, a charter school in Chaska, Minnesota serving grades 1–8 with 210 students. It is classified as an elementary school in the area summary even though it includes middle-school grades, and its district, World Learner Charter School, matches the school's test results exactly, as expected for a single-school charter district. The student-teacher ratio was 13:1 in 2024–2025, with 22.86% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Reading is the school's clearest strength. All-grade reading proficiency was 53.3% in 2025–2026 versus 48.6% statewide, and 54.23% versus 49.59% the year before. Grade 4 reading (59.1% vs. 48.8%) and grade 7 reading (56.3% vs. 43.5%) were notably above state, and grade 8 reading matched the state exactly at 50.0%. Grade 8 science was an even bigger standout: 35.7% proficient against the state's 16.7%. Math and science are weaker overall, however. All-grade math was 38.0% versus 44.9% statewide, and science was 22.2% versus 25.5%. The sharpest concern is grade 5, where math proficiency was just 12.9% against 41.9% statewide and science was 16.1% against 25.9%.
Science improved year over year by 2.63 points, while math and reading each slipped about one point—changes that may reflect different student cohorts rather than a school-wide trend. School rankings show improvement but remain below the middle: the school moved from 589th of 881 (33rd percentile) in 2023–2024 to 495th of 869 (43rd percentile) in 2025–2026, holding 2 stars each year. The district-level ranking is more favorable at 157th of 458, 66th percentile, with 3 stars. No test results in this record were suppressed, so the proficiency picture above is complete.
