Edina High School

What Edina High School does

Edina High School is a four-year public high school located in Edina, Minnesota, and is the secondary flagship campus of the Edina Public Schools District (Independent School District 273), a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota governed by a seven-member elected school board. The district traces its origins to one-room schoolhouses of the 1850s and 1860s and today operates six elementary schools, two middle schools, Edina High School, the Early Learning and Family Center, the Edina Virtual Pathway online program, and Edina Community Education, serving approximately 8,500 students under a 2020-2030 Strategic Plan.

The district's product surface spans core K-12 instruction plus specialized programs including Spanish Dual Language, French Immersion, Continuous Progress, STEAM, Edina Unified inclusive education, Talent Development (gifted), Special Education/IEP services, Title 1 support, Choice Programs, and the Hornet Athletics program. Edina High School is the comprehensive 9-12 campus offering rigorous academics, athletics, activities, and college preparation. Technology infrastructure consists of standard educational tooling — learning management systems, parent portals, and a DMTS help desk — with no disclosed proprietary AI, data flywheel, or differentiated technology stack. The district is nationally recognized, holding the #1 Traditional High School in Minnesota ranking (U.S. News & World Report), an A+ Niche.com district rating, a Top 1% Minnesota district designation, and a #8 national ranking from MaxPreps for best high school athletic programs.

The business model is government-funded: the district is supported by local property taxes, state education aid, federal grants, and voter-approved referendum funding. Education is free to district-resident students, with open enrollment available to out-of-district students for a $2 filing fee and optional pay-to-ride transportation. GTM is direct-to-resident via school tours, an enrollment center, language support services, and a multi-channel communication stack (district website, Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube, email newsletters, and earned media). Dr. Daniel Bittman became the 10th Superintendent in February 2026, succeeding a superintendent search process initiated in October 2025.
