Success: Every Student, Every Day!

Chanute High School, a community of USD #413, is committed to providing success for every student everyday
Chanute High School (CHS) is a part of a district that serves approximately 1,919 students and includes one elementary school, one pre-kindergarten center, one middle school and one alternative learning center. CHS serves 628 students in grades 9-12 with about 54% female and 46% male. The ethnic composition of CHS is over 90% white and the reported socioeconomic mix is comparable to the state average at about 32 % economically disadvantaged; however, because we offer an open-lunch period, many students who qualify do not apply and thus are not included. CHS would be more comparable to the district percent of Economically Disadvantaged students which is 43.41%.
The primarily veteran faculty, 53% teaching more than six years at CHS, holds a high percentage of advanced degrees. The breakdown of all faculty is as follows:
Over 63% of the faculty has more than 10 years teaching experience with 55% male and 45% female.
