Edina Senior High School is committed to being part of One Town, One Family. This community conversation program is just one example of what makes Edina High one of the best public high schools in Minnesota. From state championship athletics to dynamic educational pathways for diverse learning styles, Edina High is a competitive school choice that’s “defining excellence” in Minnesota.
Academic opportunities include the Edina Virtual Pathway, an online experience that connects students with faculty in online classrooms. Virtual Pathway is an opportunity for students who may experience challenges in the standard classroom or who wish to attend Edina High but live in another area of the state. Summer school programming and the Extended Year program promote year-round learning and enrichment. Students can also enroll in Advanced Placement classes and study in the engineering and computer science department. For students who need additional support, a rich special education program provides individualized education plans and adaptive assistance.
The Edina High Hornets have won nearly 200 state championship titles. Interested students can explore dozens of athletics to participate in individual or team competitions. The Hornets also participate in band competitions, orchestra performances and theatrical productions. A diverse set of clubs, from a speech team to a robotics club, add to the rich community of Edina High School.

The school is pretty good it is a larger high school but the people are usually pretty nice if you ask for directions to a classroom. The teachers are nice and as always there are some more strict teachers and others less strict. The student body is diverse and friendly, everyone kind of just has their friend group and mostly sticks with them. However, the downside is that the school does have a drug problem mostly with vapes and the like.

Academically rigorous curriculum if you specifically take advanced classes. If not, education falls short which is unfortunate for those who struggle. Offers great extra curricular and music programs. If you get involved with what you enjoy, you find your people.

Being at Edina High School was an amazing experience. I met wonderful people and made meaningful connections. Also, the teachers are very supportive which made the experience all the more better. One thing I'd like to see change is a more diversified school.

I have had 3 children graduate from Edina HS. All three did very well in their post high school studies and are successful professionals and have wonderful outlook towards life. I give Edina HS, a A+ on their part for leading my children towards a successful path.

I think we should be stunned that Great Schools claims to offer relevant ratings. Anyone can post a review without proof of participation in the school community. How is this helpful? I wish this site would be held accountable. That said, Edina High School has been great for our youngest daughter.
