Summary

Chaska Middle School East is a public middle school in Chaska, MN, serving 608 students in grades 6–8 as part of Eastern Carver County Public School. It is a top-decile school: ranked 48th of 546 Minnesota middle schools in 2025–2026 (91st percentile, 5 stars), placing it in the top 9% statewide. The district is ranked 30th of 458 in Minnesota. The school’s free/reduced-lunch rate was 11.84% in 2024–2025, and its student-to-teacher ratio was 17.2, up from 15.7 in 2022–2023.

Academically, math is the standout. All-grades math proficiency is 63.5%, above the district’s 62.5% and far above the state’s 44.9%; 8th-grade math is especially strong at 72.4%, more than 30 points above the state. Reading is solid at 61.9%, slightly below the district but well above the state, though 7th-grade reading is 6.2 points below the district. Science is the clear weak spot: all-grades science is 17%, below the district’s 29.9% and the state’s 25.5%, and it has fallen sharply from 41.51% in 2022–2023. The school is also effective with higher-need groups, ranking in the 92nd percentile for special education students and the 86th percentile for low-income students, up from the 73rd percentile two years earlier.

Compared with nearby schools, Chaska Middle School West is the higher-ranked local option at 23rd of 546 (96th percentile), with better scores in every subject and a lower student-to-teacher ratio of 15.1. Pioneer Ridge Middle School ranks 44th, with higher reading and a much lower ratio of 13.7, but lower math. Nearby Minnetonka East Middle, Minnetonka West Middle, and Westonka Middle School are top-1% to top-2% schools with much higher proficiency rates. Central Middle School in Eden Prairie has a similar overall rank, but East has much higher math and lower science. Overall, Chaska Middle School East offers strong math, solid reading, and strong subgroup results, but families should note the science decline and the rising student-to-teacher ratio.
