Summary:
ZIP code 55317 covers Chanhassen, Minnesota, and includes four schools serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade: two elementary schools (K–5), one high school (9–12), and one alternative K–12 program. All four belong to the Eastern Carver County Public School district, which is ranked 30 of 458 districts statewide — the 93rd percentile, with 5 stars. Total enrollment across the ZIP is 2,301 students.
Among the reporting schools, Chanhassen Elementary posts the strongest academics: in 2025–2026 it reached 69.6% proficiency in math and 65.4% in reading, both above district and state averages, with especially strong 3rd and 5th grade results. Chanhassen High School stands out for outcomes — a 95.7% graduation rate (state 84.9%) and a 0.2% dropout rate (state 4.2%) — plus science proficiency of 43.7%, well above district and state. Bluff Creek Elementary is solid and above state in most subjects, but generally trails Chanhassen Elementary and sits slightly below district averages in reading and science.
Two trends are worth watching. Elementary science fell sharply year over year — Chanhassen Elementary from 52.63% to 28.7%, and Bluff Creek from 48.86% to 27.9% — while the state stayed roughly flat. Every reporting school also saw its statewide rank percentile slip, though all remain in the top quartile. Free/reduced lunch rates range from 14.73% at the high school to 20.56% at Bluff Creek, and student-teacher ratios run from 13.2 to 21.4. The Anicca Program, with just 7 students, has test scores suppressed by the state; those are unknown, not a weakness.
