This shouldn’t surprise any locals, but Edina High School ranks as one of the top 110 high schools in the nation! Newsweek magazine released a list last week of the top 1500 high schools and Edina ranks at 108! Among the Minnesota schools on the list, Edina High School ranks at number 2.

According to Newsweek:

Public schools are ranked according to a ratio devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced Placement, Intl. Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken by all students at a scEhool in 2008 divided by the number of graduating seniors. All of the schools on the list have an index of at least 1.000; they are in the top 6 percent of public schools measured this way.

The Twin Cities area has 11 schools appearing on the list and Minnesota has 27 overall. This simply confirms what we have known all along. Minnesotans are a smart bunch!
