This is an incredible school on all levels. Very engaged families that help support through volunteering and fun activities. Supportive of all kinds of diversity and kids coming in new. Highly engaging for kids who need more challenging academics, while also providing great support for those kids on IEPs/special ed and who may need more help. Teachers have been there for a long time and very experienced. Great playground and outdoor spaces.

Both our children went to the Edina public schools K-12 and both flourished as a result of the experience. Both went on to graduate from elite universities (University of Chicago and MIT) and felt that the Edina Schools did an extremely good job of preparing them to compete at a world-class level. At their core, the Edina schools benefit from a community that supports and values public education and teachers that are devoted to their craft and their students. Moreover, Edina is not the homogeneous, pervasively affluent community that some make it out to be. There are nearly 100 languages spoken in the public schools and our children were friends with other children from all sorts of diverse cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds -- and they were the better for it. We believe in public education in our house and, thankfully, so do many other Edina families. The schools reflect the value the community places on public education. Finally, I think the comments about "bias" in the Edina schools are outliers and often from people with an agenda who either don't have any actual experience with the Edina schools or are simply hostile to public education in the first place. We always found that the teachers simply focused on doing a good job and promoting thoughtful, civil discourse.
