Eagle Ridge Academy Charter School is the closest academic peer at #5 statewide, but Edina Senior is higher in overall rank, graduation (95.7% vs 88.2%), and all-grade test scores. Other nearby options are very different settings: Options at Edina High School and Edina Virtual Pathway are small alternative and virtual programs, Tassel Transition is a grade-12-only program, and PIM Arts High School and Lionsgate Academy - Minnetonka rank #124 and #125. Edina Senior also has a comparatively lower free/reduced lunch rate than these nearby schools. Overall, it combines top-tier results with strong performance across subgroups.
