Summary

Chanhassen Elementary is a K–5 school in Chanhassen, MN, serving 447 students as part of the highly rated Eastern Carver County Public School district, which ranks 30th of 458 in Minnesota. Statewide, the school's 2025–2026 rank is 148th of 869 elementary schools, placing it in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. That is strong, but it marks a decline from its recent peak: from 2020–2021 through 2022–2023, Chanhassen ranked in the 92nd–95th percentile with 5 stars, and it has since settled into the 89th–83rd percentile range.

Academically, Chanhassen outperforms both its district and the state in math (69.6%) and reading (65.4%). Science is the clear outlier at 28.7% — above the state's 25.5% but far below most nearby traditional schools, including Excelsior (57.1%), Scenic Heights (64.0%), and Cedar Ridge (49.4%). Only Bluff Creek Elementary is similarly low. Chanhassen's own science scores have also fallen sharply, from 69.44% in 2022–2023 to 28.7% in 2025–2026. Grade-level results show a 4th-grade dip: 3rd and 5th grades beat district averages in math and reading, while 4th grade trails the district in both (62.8% vs. 66.2% in math, 55.1% vs. 60.3% in reading).

Special education is a genuine strength — Chanhassen ranks 56th of 579, in the top 10% statewide with 5 stars. Low-socioeconomic-status students are improving, moving from the 45th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 57th in 2025–2026, though that remains below the school's overall 83rd percentile. Contextually, the school has a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 18.57% and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.2, better than Bluff Creek (15.0), Deephaven (14.7), and Clear Springs (14.5). Within its own district, Chanhassen outperforms nearby Bluff Creek in all three tested subjects and ranks higher (148th vs. 209th). Overall, this remains a solid, above-average school whose main challenges are a recent downward trend, science performance, and the 4th-grade cohort.
