Summary:
Edina, Minnesota is home to 16 schools serving about 9,518 students across elementary, middle, high school, alternative and early-childhood settings, with the vast majority enrolled in the Edina Public School District — a district ranked #7 of 458 in Minnesota — plus two charter schools and one special-education site. Just three schools, led by Edina Senior High (2,641 students, 27.7% of city enrollment), account for just under half of all students.
The city's clear flagship is Edina Senior High, ranked the #1 high school in Minnesota for three straight years, with a 95.7% graduation rate, a 0.1% dropout rate and science proficiency of 83.7% against a state rate of 25.5%. Among elementaries, Creek Valley Elementary is the biggest riser (#56 → #15 of 869), while Concord Elementary (math 82.2%) and Normandale Elementary (5.98% free/reduced lunch, highest single grade-level math figure in the data) have stayed elite. Valley View Middle, ranked #5 of 546 middle schools, tops South View Middle in math and reading but trails it in science.
The softer spots are Cornelia Elementary (4 stars, math 61.2%, the district's highest poverty indicator) and the two charters, International Spanish Language Academy and Agamim Classical Academy, both of which fell hundreds of rank positions over three years and now sit near or below the state median. Edina Virtual Pathway serves a very different population (72% free/reduced lunch, reading 14.3%). Notably, poverty indicators track performance closely while student-teacher ratio does not — Cornelia has the smallest classes among district elementaries yet the weakest scores.
