The teachers at this school are excellent, going above and beyond my expectations to make sure my kiddo was set up to be successful in the classroom. The principal and dean of students are both very involved and active (not hiding in an office all day). There has rarely been a time where I've stopped by the school and not run into one of them in the hallway, the front office, or the lunchroom. You can tell they care about the students, as well as the staff. Everyone seems happy to work at the school, and my child is comfortable speaking to any staff member (from paras to the principal) if he needs help. That says a lot! We consider ourselves very fortunate to have Bluff Creek as our zoned school.

Chaska middle school west is the best. They have awesome teachers and staff. I love this school

The teachers were excellent. The building itself was excellent- new and spacious. But the school itself prioritized sports over everything else, "quiet" study spaces were filled with teenagers noisily filming tiktoks- there was not a single spot to study that was actually quiet, which made it hard for me to learn. I always tried to go home early just so I could focus and have some quiet. The majority of my classes were just spent sitting there staring at a wall because I completely my work before the deadlines, and I had nothing to do. Classes were very easy to pass with minimal or no studying at all. I didn't feel like the school valued paths besides going to an expensive private university. There wasn't much talk about taking PSEO or community colleges. The only thing I really liked about this school were the teachers, but other than that- not an experience I'd want to go back to.
