What are the best public schools in the Twin Cities suburbs?

Answered byChris DeutschLicensed MN Realtor (MN #20382264)
Direct Summary (TL;DR)

Edina, Minnetonka, and Wayzata consistently rank highest for public education. However, buying into these districts carries a 'school premium' on housing prices. If you prioritize value alongside education, consider Plymouth or Maple Grove—they offer excellent schooling metrics with substantially more square footage per dollar.
