Edina schools define excellence
Edina Public Schools has earned a reputation for providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to successfully navigate the world.
Consistently ranked among the top school districts in the state, the Edina School District has continued to provide quality education to approximately 8,500 students of all ages, supporting students as they journey from the Early Learning Center to Edina High School and beyond.
The district continues to expand its learning opportunities for students, such as language immersion programs and STEAM programs that focus on science, technology, engineering, arts and math.
Led by Superintendent Daniel Bittman, the district’ s six elementary schools, two middle schools, and high school offer a variety of learning choices for students of all abilities.
The youngest learners can find top-rated programming at the district’ s Early Learning Center. Students then move on to one of the community’ s cherished elementary schools: Concord, Cornelia, Countryside, Creek Valley, Highlands and Normandale French Immersion School.
From there, students go into South View or Valley View middle schools, which have all achieved an“ A” or higher rating by the school-ranking site Niche. Edina middle schools offer a variety of student activities, including robotics, theater, sports and after school programming.
Edina’ s South View Middle School was the first middle school in the state to be recognized as a national Special Olympics Unified Champion School for its efforts to provide inclusive sports and activities for students with and without intellectual disabilities.
Students’ final stop in the district is Edina High School, where they prepare for the next stage of life. According to Niche, the school is the fourth-best public high school in the state and is No. 3 in college prep.
The district’ s top-notch athletics program inspires the community to wear green and root for the Hornets. Edina students have brought home 215 state champion titles, more than any of the other 500 members of the Minnesota State High School League.
As a highly-ranked school district, the Edina Hornets remain a top choice among educators, parents and students in the Twin Cities.
